Here you can check your writing skills and develop them. Please feel free to visit the Writing Center not just for help writing class reports, but also for any other kind of writing support you may need. Refined writing skills are crucial not only while you are a student but out in the working world as well. Please make the most of the services the Writing Center has to offer in order to master the writing skills you need.Concept "To produce better writers, not better writing"The Writing Center provides students with workshops and individualized teaching with the goal of nurturing "self-reliant writers." "Self-reliant writers" are those who are able to notice problems in their own writing and make corrections by themselves.Available SupportAt the Writing Center, students can get one-on-one individualized instruction with one of our tutors. If you have ever had any of the following concerns, please visit us for assistance. "I was assigned a paper in class, but I don't know what I should write on, or how to write about it…"→It's OK, even if you haven't started writing yet. By discussing the topic with a tutor, we will help you put your thoughts together and get them down on paper."I nished my report, but I don't know if it's really OK the way it is… Can someone look it over?"→Tutors will not correct or make any touch-ups to your text, but they will help you nd potential problematic points in your writing by yourself. This is the rst step in becoming a "self-reliant writer."Domestic student tutors will assist with assignments for courses offered in Japanese; international student tutors will assist with assignments for courses offered in English.How to Use the Writing Center1) Make a reservation on the "Writing Center" page of the Academic Ofce Website.  * Reservations can be made up to the day before your requested appointment time.
