Purpose

We are here to read over papers for students who would like a little extra help.  We will check for grammar, style, word choice, outline, format, bibliographies, sources, etc.  Please place a hard copy of the paper in the director's mailbox and it will be proofread.  While we can correct spelling and punctuation, please do review your paper at least once before bringing it to read through it. If you have any questions about the review, we will be happy to sit with you and discuss the different corrections and give advice for your writing.

In addition to paper reviews, this website has plenty of detailed information on a variety of subjects.  Just look around! If you are looking for help with PC or Mac issues, please contact Student Computer Services.

If you would like submit a paper, please do so with at least three days advance of when you need it back. If the paper is of greater length (that is, greater than ten pages), please give a greater amount of time.

A Few Useful Tools

Grammar Self-Test

Click here to take a brief grammar quiz.  If you take this and you have a hard time with it, then you may need to brush up on your grammar. Everything in this quiz is material covered by middle school students.  If you need some extra work, we have resources at the GWC and in the IT room next to Dr. Mahfood's office.
