The
University Writing Center (UWC) offers free, face-to-face sessions to all
Lamar students at any stage of the writing process. Students may visit the
UWC early in their writing process, when they are deciding what to write
(brainstorming); or they may bring a complete draft for content questions
(revision) or grammar and punctuation concerns (editing). Each
individualized session aspires to more than just the short-term goal of
improving a particular paper; the objective is to nurture better writers.
With this in mind, writers work together with tutors to answer any
questions or concerns the writers have in sessions that may last from a few
minutes up to an hour. the UWC staff, which is
composed of Lamar undergraduate and graduate students, welcomes both
appointments and walk-ins. Writers may schedule an appointment by calling (409) 880-8571 or visiting the
UWC in Maes 208.
The UWC has
a small computer area open to Lamar students. These eight computers are
connected to the Internet and offer a variety of software programs, includuing Microsoft Word, Access, Excel, and Powerpoint. They are available during regular hours of
operation.
A computer
classroom with 24 computers is also available by reservation, (409)
880-8587, to Lamar faculty for their writing classes.
