Writing Center
Writing Center
The Westcliff University Writing Center’s mission is to collaborate with you as advocates for your academic success by not focusing on grade increases or what must be ‘fixed,’ but instead, focusing on developing your confidence in what you produce and ensuring you feel supported along the way.
We offer support at any point in your process of writing: outlining, drafting, reviewing the final draft, or even after you have received feedback from your professor and would like help understanding specifically how to connect that feedback to your writing. We also offer reviews on a variety of types of documents: discussion questions, CLAs, PAs, deliverables, lesson plans, and even resumes or cover letters! Our writing center specialists come from a wide array of backgrounds and expertise in how to support you in whatever writing type you send our way! The Writing Center provides asynchronous reviews of papers which means you do not have to be present to have your assignment reviewed.
Services We Provide
Westcliff University Undergraduate Writing Center provides the following free support services for students actively enrolled at Westcliff University.
Written Feedback
We understand your time is limited. Send us your assignment or draft and we will look it over and send feedback to you within 48 hours! (Remember, not including Sundays).
We also understand that we are all different, and thus, different types of feedback might work better for some of us than others. At the Westcliff University Writing Center, you get a say in how you want your feedback to be given. We currently offer:
Comment on Everything!
This type of feedback is in-depth, extensive, and leaves it up to your editor what they identify as they read through your work.
Color-Coded
This type of feedback is for those of you who prefer a say in what your editors will focus on. You can select two main areas for review.
Video-Feedback
This feedback is for those of you who prefer to listen to an editor explain your feedback rather than read it
