Writing Center

As you know, the more you speak, the more fluent you become! The same is true about writing; your writing will improve greatly with more practice. Come in often for help with short assignments or questions about how to construct a clean, logical paper. Vocabulary or grammar questions are also welcome.

Regular visits are best. For example, you could plan for two half-hour appointments per week. Interlink students may sign up for appointments when they are enrolled in a Valpo course.
