John, Student, English Composition I

"The writing center is a valuable tool….I have always found someone to coach me through tough assignments.  Also, it’s a perfect environment to do my work because it’s extremely quiet."

 

Christian, Student, English Composition I

"I worked with one writing center consultant for the entire duration of my English Comp I class.  Whenever I would come in with a question about one of my papers, the consultant would always give me his undivided attention and would honestly tell me what he thought.  I truly looked forward to coming to the writing center and working with him….I even got a paper he helped me on published!"

 

Daniel, Student, English Composition II

"This is my place of security, hope, and knowledge.…to be able to take a class at Metro and know that there is always someone [in the writing center] to help you reach your next level makes a difference to those like me who used to take education for granted."

 

Prakob, ESL Student

"If I have questions, the consultants do their best to answer them. If I have an appointment, they study with me until I'm finished. I have things to do too, so I appreciate that my time is valued. If a consultant isn't comfortable with what I'm asking (for example if they don't know how to explain grammar), I appreciate when they tell me who I should see instead."

 

Alex, ESL Student

"Every time I [work with a writing center consultant, I] get real help….The writing center is a good idea.  It helps me a lot."
