We
offer feedback on written work for all University of Maine students,
faculty, and staff. Our goal is to help you become a better writer
and we believe that collaboration is the key. We won't proofread your
paper, but we will help you think critically about your own writing
and give suggestions on how to make it stronger.
Our sessions are for all types of writing
and last anywhere between 5 minutes to an hour - it's up to you! Whether
you're working on an essay, a biology report, or a graduate thesis,
we'll try our best to assist you.
Of course, no matter what kind of information you're looking for,
you don't need to have a session to use our resources. You can drop
by and use our handbooks or look something up on our computers.
We provide:
- Grammar and Documentation handbooks
- Writing handbooks
- Style manuals
- Microsoft Word
- Dictionaries/Thesauruses
- The Internet
We also have a specialist for International
and ESL students, Jane Morse. Jane keeps different hours and makes
her own appointments. Call the Writing Center and ask for Jane if
you would like to set up an appointment with her.
If you're looking for a second opinion,
advice on grammar, or help developing ideas, the trained
tutors are
ready to work with you on your writing needs. We hope that you' ll
check out the Writing Center and see what we're all about!
