Tutor Evaluation Survey

Welcome to the Writing Center

The primary purpose of the Writing Center at Wake Forest is to offer students a place where they can discuss their writing and writing processes with trained tutors. Because everyone writes differently, the Writing Center tailors its help to each student’s needs. The Center is staffed by advanced Wake Forest students who act as an audience for students’ writing; they work by asking questions to help students discover what they want to say and if they have effectively communicated what they intended to say. Tutors do not evaluate, correct, or edit student assignments; their main goal is to help students become critical readers of their own writing. Students are encouraged to go to the Center as soon as possible after receiving a writing assignment. Help is provided during every stage of the writing process, including: generating ideas and settling on a topic; organizing ideas in a paper; developing support for arguments; composing more effectively; learning to revise drafts; learning to identify and correct errors in grammar and punctuation.

Students may either drop in or make an appointment.
