写作实验室是什么?

The 写作实验室 exists to help students improve their mastery of the skills of composition -发明,组织和风格. Focusing primarily on the student’s development, we neither edit nor proof-read papers; instead, we help students discern areas for improvement in their writing and guide them as they work on those areas. 所有的导师 in the Lab are graduate students at UD. We work with students on papers from across the Core, not just Lit Trad papers, including scientific writing and applications 各种奖学金和项目.

Other Important Information and Lab Rules

  • If you are 10 or more minutes late to your appointment, an appointment is not guaranteed.
  • Please note that your 会话's fruitfulness will correspond to your own preparedness. So please come with specific questions about your draft or outline, and prepare yourself to think and learn about the arts of grammar, logic, and rhetoric. 你的导师会 not create a thesis for you (that would constitute plagiarism!)或提供你的临时资料 带文本论证的论文. Instead, he or she will help you to develop your thoughts about the subject as you present it in your paper.
  • 你的疗程只有25分钟. Due to the conversational nature of this kind of learning, you should NOT expect to work through an entire paper in one 会话. Instead, you are more likely to focus intently upon a few areas of improvement.
  • Undergraduates are limited to one 25 minute slot per day per assignment.
  • Tutors are not allowed to edit, review, or critique take-home, out-of-class exams without the written consent of the exam-giving instructor.
  • Tutors will comment on grammar, syntax, organization, and/or argumentation of the 草案提出.  Their task is to show where 这篇论文 needs to improve, not to re-write 这篇论文.  For that reason, tutors will point out consistent errors in grammar and 语法,但不纠正他们全部.  Similarly, tutors will point out problems with evidence use or information flow, but they will not generate 这篇论文's argument, 证据或信息.
