Description

The Writing Workshop, on the second floor in Howard Hall, serves undergraduate, graduate, and law students who are writing papers and need assistance with individual assignments. The emphasis of the one-on-one tutoring session is not to fix but to devise actions that the individual can take to improve and to start dealing with writing problems or questions individually. This is a free service to all Drake University students.

Services

The Writing Workshop can help you with:

evaluating your habits of reading and writing
learning new strategies appropriate for a particular writing or reading task
making sense of assignments and assigned reading material
coming up with ideas
revising sentence style; resolving problems with word choice, grammar, etc.
revising organization, argument, viewpoint or perspective
overcoming writer's block
