Dixie State College English

The Dixie State College Writing Center is located on the first floor of the Browning Learning Resource Center. Our services are free to DSC students, and our mission is to help you become a better writer by approaching your assignments as a process of invention, writing, and revision.

The Writing Center is staffed by peer tutors who offer suggestions, instruction, and tips to help you improve your individual skills.  Please keep in mind that the Writing Center is not a proofreading service.  We focus on helping you become a better writer rather than helping you correct every single mistake in an essay. Tutors give basic suggestions for improvement and teach you to review your own papers.  We will do our best to help you improve your writing skills, but responsibility for generating a perfectly written, error-free paper lies solely with you.

While face-to-face sessions are most effective, we also offer an Online Writing Lab (OWL), which can be accessed at owl@dixie.edu.  You may e-mail your paper as an attachment to this site; tutors review the paper and return it to you via e-mail.  If you use this service, allow a few days for your paper to be reviewed. For example, if a paper is due on Friday, you should not wait until Thursday night to submit the paper to the Writing Center. 

We look forward to helping you at the Writing Center; please let us know how we can improve our service to you and to Dixie State College.
