The Write Place is located in the ULM Administration Building, Room 3-87.
A Creative Space
Located in Administration 3-87, The Write Place is an informal and
comfortable space where writers can talk about their writing concerns
with the tutors who are willing to listen, share, and respond. The
goal of these tutorial writing conversations is not necessarily to
perfect a given paper so much as it is to help students learn about
their own processes as they work through the writing assigned in their
classes. People who use The Write Place on a regular basis tend to
develop a heightened awareness of their process, discover a variety
of
strategies for working through papers, and thus develop stronger
pieces of writing.
Our mission is:
to assist writers, regardless of their status (faculty or students),
their level of proficiency, or their college, during the various
stages of their writing projects
to create a supportive environment in which writers and their
readers can work effectively one-to-one
to train writing peer tutors to become knowledgeable, effective
readers
and responders to texts from various disciplines.
In addition, The Write Place continuously attempts to overcome the
stereotype that this is a place where only remedial students come for
help. We serve all levels of writers, from beginners to experts. We
view writing here as an ongoing process and we help students at every
point of that process, from understanding readings and interpreting
assignments to brainstorming, organizing, drafting, and editing.
Overall, we want to help students understand their own writing
processes and not just "fix" a particular problem. We believe
that
students can accomplish and learn much more if they attend regularly,
to work on ongoing concerns rather than just coming for one or two
visits to work on short-term problems.
