Writing Center
Help Online
If you are unable to visit the Writing Center in person, you can still get help with your work online.
Submit your writing assignment for review as an e-mail attachment sent to writing.center@dctc.edu.
Include the following in your e-mail:
- Your written work as an attached Microsoft Word file, which is a file with a .doc extension. Don't cut and paste your work as text in the body of the e-mail.
- Complete description of the assignment. If you're taking an online course, send the assignment description as an attachment, or cut and paste as text in the body of the e-mail.
- Specific questions or concerns that you have about your work, e.g., organization, structure, presentation of examples, explanations, documentation, grammar or punctuation. Type your concerns into the body of the e-mail.
- A note identifying the section of your writing that requires comment from a tutor. Limit the section to one page maximum.
- The course title and your instructor's name.
- Your full name and Student ID Number.
You might have to wait a couple days for a response requested via e-mail. Don't wait until a day or two before your due date to submit a writing assignment for assistance.
