Additional Writing Support
Body
- WRIT 123 and WRIT 124: Writing Lab I & II. The Writing Labs help support WRIT 100, 101, and all WRIT 200, 201 courses, as well as other first-year courses that have significant writing requirements and would give multilingual students a better chance of succeeding in all of their courses. Students will gain greater fluency in written English; understanding of course expectations at Saint Mary’s regarding writing; increased proficiency in English grammar and vocabulary; better understanding of the stages of assembling an essay (including thesis formation, overall essay organization, paragraph development, and effective sentence construction) through focused work on each stage; and better writing habits gained through practice in assessing writing assignments across the disciplines, setting writing schedules, brainstorming and drafting techniques, and revising essays.
- Center for Writing Across the Curriculum is located on the first floor of De La Salle Hall. The center offers many different types of help for writing essays in any course at Saint Mary's. (Click here to go to their website)
