Writing Resource Center

“[I]n a writing center the object is to make sure that writers, and not necessarily their texts, are what get changed by instruction. In axiom form it goes like this: Our job is to produce better writers, not better writing.”

  -- Stephen North, "The Idea of a Writing Center"

WRC Online Tutoring Instructions

How it works: You'll request an online appointment through email (wrc@csub.edu), send a draft of your essay, indicating what concerns you have, and the tutor will send you back your draft with comments.

Instructions:

1.) Email wrc@csub.edu to request an online appointment with day and time (Monday-Wednesday, 10-2p).

2.) Fill out this Tutoring Notes form (just the left side) and attach to your email along with a draft of your paper (MS Word preferred).

3.) Attach the essay prompt and/or professor's instructions for the writing assignment. This helps us get a feel of what your teacher expects.

4.) The tutor will review your paper during your appointment time and email you back a draft with comments the same day.

Need help with an essay assignment? Confused about grammar rules? Or just want to polish your writing skills?

The CSUB Writing Resource Center (WRC) is here to help. We offer FREE tutoring, workshops, and other support services to currently enrolled CSUB students. We currently offer tutoring in writing, literature, linguistics, and MLA/APA citation.

At the WRC, our tutors are trained to focus on improving students’ overall skills, not just their grades. Rather than just providing “the answer,” we assist students at all stages of assignments to help them learn to think critically about their own writing in any discipline.

Call us with any questions at 661-654-6411.

If you have visited us recently, please take this short survey to tell us how we're doing. New Survey forthcoming.
