Writing Tutoring in the Philosophy Department
During the fall and spring semesters, the Philosophy Department offers an in-house writing tutor. If you need assistance with your papers, essays, and other assignments—particularly in terms of grammar, structure, and overall form—then take advantage of the writing tutor. The tutor can help you with:
- brainstorming ideas;
- crafting outlines, thesis statements, and transitions; and
- organizing and developing thoughts for papers.
In addition, the tutor can aid you with every step of the writing process from line editing to putting the paper in MLA or APA format. Note that this service does not include an analysis of subject content, and the assignment must be for a philosophy course.
The informational handout on Some Elements and Guidelines of Writing to Consider (pdf) (provided by former writing tutor Chris Workoff) can come in handy while you compose your paper.
Writing tutoring takes place in the Philosophy Department (3308 Boylan Hall).
