Academic Support for Writing

The Student Learning Center (SLC) has two different writing services for you:

  1. In-person Tutor Appointments
  2. Writing Review/Evaluation Service 

The SLC also provides Internet Resources that may be useful writing resources for you.

In-person Tutor Appointments

Writing Tutors are available by appointment in the SLC and via FranklinLive!. The Tutoring Schedule lists the sessions that are available for appointment. Schedule your 30-minute session by calling 614.947.6800 or sign-up in person a week prior to your desired appointment time. The attendance policy limits appointments to one per day and two per week.

The Writing Tutor/Reviewer will:

  • Identify errors and teach you how to correct your own paper
  • Address grammar and basic structure
  • Evaluate your use of the APA citation style
  • Notify your instructor that you received writing assistance through the SLC

You are responsible for:

  • Spelling and grammar checks 
  • The accuracy of your content

Before your appointment, make sure you:

  • Complete your first typed draft with clear ideas
  • Read your paper out loud before your session (you may find your own mistakes!)
  • Bring your assignment and instructor's guidelines with you
  • Be on time or the tutor will move on to his or her next appointment

Writing Review/Evaluation Service

The writing service is available to review and evaluate your papers prior to submission. After you fill out a form with basic information about yourself and the assignment, your paper can be emailed to the SLC. It is reviewed by a qualified tutor who embeds comments in your paper.

In order to have your paper properly evaluated, please include the following:

  • A description of your assignment/guidelines.
  • What you found especially challenging as you worked on your paper.
  • Why you want someone to review it.
  • Your name, e-mail address, phone number, course and instructor.

To use this service, fill out the Writing Review Request Form.
