The
Department of Communication & English - Writing
Center
- Do you struggle with outlines or with organizing
papers?
- Do your grades suffer from run-on sentences,
fragments or awkward tense shifts?
- Do you experience difficulty with simple sentence
structure, article use and subject-verb agreement?
- Is English your second language?
The Writing Center strives
to help all members of the American University
of Rome community learn more about writing and
to become better writers. Writers at all levels
can benefit from sharing their work with someone
who is both knowledgeable and trustworthy, someone
who is not responsible for giving them a grade
or an evaluation.
Our professional and friendly
staff will work with you one-on-one, examining
all stages of the writing process: from note taking
and pre-writing to revision strategies and proofreading
techniques. The Writing Center is a learning environment.
We will offer advice on ways to improve your writing,
but we will not proofread or edit your papers
for you. We will, however, teach you how to proofread
and edit your own papers. Our focus is on helping
you improve as a writer, rather than "fixing"
the paper you bring in.
We are located on the 1st floor of Building B. You may sign up for an appointment or just pass by. Sign-Up sheets are on the bulletin board in the hallway outside the Writing Center.
Walk-in appointments are encouraged! Come visit us!
