Writing Lab

In order to facilitate student writing throughout the college community and to expand the Writing Lab's clientele, the Writing Lab will pursue the following activities:

 

·        Provide both formal and informal tutoring at all skill levels to students working on writing in English as well as in other disciplines.

·        Provide up-to-date electronic and hardcopy resources to facilitate independent student learning at various levels.

·        Collaborate with the ELI and other divisions to develop resources for working with groups with special needs, such as students for whom English is a second language and nursing or pharmacy students.

·        Develop orientation materials to ensure proper and efficient use of the lab's facilities.

·        Expand the clientele of the lab by doing outreach to institutions in the metropolitan area, such as high schools.

 

Bio

Elaine McKeand:  I am an unapologetic maize and blue fan, having received my B.A., M.A. and Ph. D from the University of Michigan.  I specialized in teaching composition and studying Victorian and Modern British and American fiction.  At this point in my career, I particularly enjoy seeing students reach a threshold of success in their own writing, both personal and academic, and to that end I teach primarily composition courses; additionally, these interests have led me to become the Writing Lab Liaison for the English Division.
