The Writing Lab exists to help students improve their mastery of the skills of composition — invention, organization, and style. At the Lab, we want to help students become better writers by attending, together, to the crafting of specific papers. Focusing primarily on the student’s development, we neither edit nor proof-read papers; instead, we aim to help the students discern areas for improvement, and to guide them into the next stage of that growth. All the tutors in the lab are graduate students here at UD. We welcome papers of all kinds, not just Lit Trad papers; we work with students on papers from across the Core, including scientific writing, as well as on applications to various scholarships and programs.
Important Note: In order to maximize this time, please complete the "Upload your documents" step and the "Sign in" step listed below BEFORE your session begins.
1. Undergraduates are limited to one 25 minute slot per day per assignment.
2. Tutors are not allowed to edit, review, or critique take-home, out-of-class exams without the written consent of the exam-giving instructor.
3. Tutors will comment on grammar, syntax, organization, and/or argumentation of the draft presented. Their task is to show where the paper needs to improve, not to re-write the paper. For that reason, tutors will point out consistent errors in grammar and syntax, but not correct them all. Similarly, tutors will point out problems with evidence use or information flow, but they will not generate the paper's argument, evidence, or information.
Should you have any questions regarding the Lab, please do not hesitate to reach out to the Director:
