Writing Lab
Overview
The Rose State Writing Lab provides one-on-one help with any Rose State writing project at no charge. It’s open to all students; no referral is required.
A quiet, comfortable place for writers to work, the Writing Lab is staffed with qualified lab instructors and faculty members who are prepared to help with any Rose State College writing project and can provide tutorials to help students evaluate and correct common mistakes and writing issues. Lab instructors are pleased to assist students with assignments by helping them brainstorm, outline, draft, edit, and proofread; however, we cannot correct an entire essay for a student (we are not editors). We will provide examples and assist as the student makes appropriate improvements.
The Writing Lab is located in the Learning Resources Center, Room 250E, and we are also available online! Visit us during lab hours or get help online with a response within 24-48 hours, Monday through Friday. We have put together some commonly asked questions below. You can also use the Ask an Instructor form to get help with an essay or ask general questions about writing and formatting.
The Writing Lab provides access to online Merit Software Tutorials to guide students through basic writing, grammar, and punctuation review. To use the software, students must sign up in the Writing Lab. There is no cost to the student. After signing up the first time, students can access the program from any computer – on or off campus.
Students who need weekly tutoring sessions will be referred to Tutoring Services (next door to the Writing Lab).
