Writing/ESL Resources
The Learning Skills Center offers a variety of assistance to UCDavis students for writing across the curriculum. Our workshops offer strategies and reviews of the writing process from prewriting through revision for both in-class and out-of-class essays.
Our writing specialists and tutors also work individually with students on writing assignments for any course offered by UCDavis. In your writing appointment, we can help you understand the assignment or prompt and offer strategies for brainstorming, prewriting, organizing, developing, and revising your essay or term paper.
You may use LSC Writing Services at any point in your writing process, but we can help you most effectively if you allow ample time to follow up on our feedback and revise your work well before the due date.
Check out essay topics in the Resource Room (2211 Dutton); sign up for an appointment to review it during Specialists' Same Day appointments.
