Appointments and Referrals
Students may use the sign-up sheets on the doors of SH 232 and 233 to reserve a specific time. When possible, the Writing Center also accepts students on a walk-in basis without an appointment. Faculty may also use a referral form to request that a student visit the center.
Writing Center Faculty tutors James Dabbert and Gail Lehman provide help with writing assignments for both graduate and undergraduate students, whether they are native or nonnative speakers of English. Dabbert and Lehman are especially trained to work with students for whom English is a second language. Their one-on-one instruction focuses on the specific needs of the individual student.
Writing Center tutor Ashley Telman also provides help with writing assignments for graduate and undergraduate students.
Typically, a student takes a project or paper assignment to the center, where a tutor works one-on-one with the student to assist with the writing process:
- by helping to interpret the goals and requirements of the assignment
- by guiding the processes of information gathering, analyzing, evaluating, synthesizing, organizing, and documenting
- by helping to address "local" issues such as grammar, punctuation, spelling, etc.
IIT's Writing Center is supported by the Lewis Department of Humanities.
