Write Site

The Write Site's mission is to develop independent writers in all genres of academic writing and to encourage and support good student writing across the University. Good student writing involves not only correct and effective language usage in adapting to audience and purpose, but also sound application of critical thinking, researching, style and appropriate documentation.

Write Site

Write Site

This site is designed to assist students with academic writing assignments. Students can use this service to receive feedback about the writing component—organization, mechanics, grammar, and style—of an assignment before they submit it to a tutor for marking.

Before submitting an assignment to a Writing Coach, please check the guidelines and the coaching specialties of the Write Site Coordinator and Assistant Coordinator to make sure that you are contacting the appropriate person.

Write Site Coaching is designed to help students develop their writing skills within the context of course work over time. Coaches will help students identify individual patterns of errors in their writing, and work with them on no more than three or four skills with each submission. Where warranted, students may be referred to a writing course.

For students who are unsure of their writing needs, or are considering a writing course, we recommend the English Language Assessment to identify which course would be most appropriate.

Watch for new resources coming to this site soon!

If you have a problem accessing any of the links on this site, please contact the Write Site Coordinator.
