Writing Center
天天吃瓜 State Columbiana Writing Center
Serving the Salem and East Liverpool campuses
Our goal is to produce better writers, not just better writing!
We help:
- Any Student
- Any Level
- Any Discipline
- Any Writing Project
- Any Stage of the Writing Process: prewriting, drafting, revision, documentation (APA, MLA, etc.), and editing (finding later-order-concern errors).
Current Appointment Types:
In-Person Appointment (Salem Campus):
Meet with a tutor at the Salem campus for a face-to-face session. In-person appointments are currently limited to certain days of the week, but Virtual Meeting appointments (Microsoft Teams) remain as an option Monday-Friday.
Virtual Meeting (Microsoft TEAMS)
Sign up for a real time appointment with a tutor by selecting an open time on KSU Scheduler. Much like an in-person session, your tutor will collaborate with you to improve your writing skills. Your tutor will guide you through the chat and video functions during your session.
Will the tutor 鈥渇ix鈥 my paper?
Tutors follow both best practices in tutoring and 天天吃瓜 guidelines that require YOUR individual work. While this is not an editing service, tutors WILL help you to make choices about your paper. In the long run, this will make you a stronger writer.
