Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an appointment to visit the Writing Lab?
No.
Will the Writing Lab proofread my paper?
Although consultants do not proofread your papers, they do help you by asking questions which all experienced writers ask themselves. So, you will discover your own strategies and methods of writing.
Can I get help documenting my History, English, Sociology, Psychology, Communications, or Education paper?
Yes, the Writing Lab has handouts on Turabian (footnotes- also called Chicago and used in History courses), on MLA (in-text documentation), ASA (for Sociology), and APA (for Psychology, Communication, and Education).
Can you help me with grammar?
Yes, the Writing Lab has exercises to help you to review rules for grammar, usage, and punctuation. After you complete the exercises, you can check your work right there in the Lab by referring to the Lab's answer keys.
