The Writing Center is one of several resources that DMACC Boone offers to its students.
Extra help with a variety of writing based projects is available at the center on anything from scholarship applications to employment writing to regular classwork. The center also offers face-to-face tutoring for students who need help in an array of subjects.
“The writing center isn’t just for composition classes. We will help students out in any subject area they need,” said Krystal Hering, coordinator of the Writing Center.
The office is open year round to help students raise their grades, or keep them up in the first place. If the tutors are unsure what is expected during the assignment, they ask questions and refer to the student’s grading sheet.
DMACC student Mary Rowan has used the Writing Center several times during her time at DMACC. She has gone there for a variety of assistance from the tutors. One of her favorite perks is that “They don’t tell you how to do it, they give you the tools on how to do it yourself.” The tutors at the Writing Center help give students the resources they need to be able to complete work on their own. They try to help students develop a skill set that will assist them in their future assignments.
The Boone Campus Writing Center is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Friday. The Ames Hunziker Writing Center is open 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday.
