The Writing Center
 | the writing Center| Ave Maria University's Writing Center is run by Literature professor Dr. Lylas Rommel. At the Writing Center, students can receive writing tutoring and paper help, whether in brainstorming for ideas, breaking through writer's block or giving a paper that final polish. The most unique but probably the most useful feature of AMU's Writing Center is that our tutors are mainly undergraduate students who have shown themselves to be excellent writers. Students can come for tutoring on Sunday through Thursday evenings throughout the school year from 7 to 11 PM. Students and guests to the website are also welcome to review and use the Writing Handbook and Office of Assertion, given below. |

 | The Writing HandbookThis handbook is intended to assist everyone engaged in the integration and production of academic writing: students, writing center tutors, and faculty. I hope it will be a useful guide in two ways. First, this text aims to coordinate writing assignments across the curriculum so that faculty not used to teaching composition can help students develop confidence in their ability to address a broad range of issues through exposition and argument. Second, it offers students and tutors a brief précis of the principles of composition in The Harbrace Handbook and The Office of Assertion, by Scott Crider, the two standard references for the Department of Literature.
