The Writing & Reading Hotspot at LSC-UP is located in B12.825, in the back of the SLRC. It is free to use, but it's only available to currently-enrolled LSC students.
Writing coaches will:
- Help you brainstorm! Please come early and often during the course of the writing of your paper.
- Focus on a selection of repetitive errors and teach you how to fix them
- Cheerlead, guide, and help you through the process of writing.
- Work through the paper with you and help you improve your organization, grammar, and writing skills so you can self-edit and become more confident as a writer
Writing coaches will not:
- Do revisions, edit, proofread, grammar check, or make notes on your paper. (Come prepared to take notes on what the coach is recommending!)
- Interpret your professor's notes or assignment. We can help you understand, but always consult your professor if you have specific questions on the assignment itself.
- Help on quizzes, tests, or finals (without a specific statement from your instructor that outside help is allowed).
