Writing Center
Perhaps you've heard that no one cares about your grades once you leave the halls of academia. While that notion holds some truth, it is equally true that most potential employers do care about writing skills. They care so much that they bemoan the poor preparation of the entry-level pool of grads. In a labor force full of mediocre writers, someone who writes well is bound to stand out and succeed.
Let's be honest: not everything you learn in college is crucial. But learning to write is crucial. If you have difficulty writing, let us help!
Biola's Writing Center is a place where students of all disciplines and writing abilities can discuss their writing with a trained writing consultant. Designed to provide feedback and assessment of papers in progress. The focus is on process and assisting the student with writing deficiencies, not on editing or proofreading. Assistance is provided on a walk-in basis. Computers, computer programs and a laser printer are available for student use. These services are available to all Biola students. Please phone the office for further information.
