The Oakland University Writing Center offers free support in all stages of the writing process for students enrolled at Oakland University or any of its satellite programs.
Its highly trained peer and faculty consultants can help students:
- Comprehend assignment goals;
- Translate instructor feedback into a revision plan;
- Develop confidence for new writing tasks;
- Choose assignment topics;
- Verbalize ideas;
- Transfer thoughts from head to hand;
- Gain awareness of audience, situation, and purpose;
- Organize thoughts;
- Generate clear and concise theses;
- Articulate informed arguments with appropriate claims and reasons;
- Gain control of grammar and mechanics;
- Locate and employ appropriate resources for research projects; and
- Learn and follow APA, MLA, Chicago, and other documentation guidelines for writing
While we try to accomodate walk-ins as our staffing allows, we strongly encourage students to make an appointment to ensure that their writing needs are met in a timely manner. Please use our online scheduler where you may schedule up to two blocks of time (one hour) per day to work with a consultant. If you have other questions, please e-mail ouwc@oakland.edu or phone us as 248.370.3120.
In addition, students can enroll in the one-credit course, RHT 104, a supervised tutorial in which a student meets with a Rhetoric faculty member for weekly writing assistance.
