Writing is a necessary skill no matter your program or academic year. Fortunately, most universities and colleges offer a free resource centre for assistance with improving this skill. If you ever struggle or need a helping hand with academic writing, the Writing and Communication Centre (WCC) is the place to be! If you still aren't convinced, here are five reasons to visit us.
1. We can provide feedback on the clarity of your written work

Getting your point across verbally can be easier than writing it down. Without body language or facial expressions, telling your audience what you want to can be a daunting task. This is where the Writing and Communication Centre comes in! We can read your work and provide you with feedback on how well your ideas are expressed.
2. It's free for all students

Say you've read the assignment; done your research; asked your professor; and yet, you're still stuck getting your ideas down. The Writing and Communication Centre can help you with your writer's block by brainstorming or going through your outline with you. Although the WCC is not here to write it for you, having a conversation about your ideas will lead to a better understanding of how to begin.
