If I were to come to the Writing Center
The foremost reason I would come to the writing center would be for my grammar. While I certainly understand (sitting on the otherside of the wall) that grammar actually takes a backseat to the development of the writer, my endless incompetence with English grammar would drive me to the writing center. As well, I would come to the writing center if I had trouble with the organization of my paper. These are the two reasons I firmly believe any student begins to seek help at the writing center. Unfortunately, I honestly feel that most students could care less about their own development as writers as long as their papers are grammatically sound and composed coherently enough to allow them to "squeak" through English class with a decent grade. With regards to communication or communication technologies, I feel that I have many weaknesses; the first of which being that I know little about technology aside from the compostion of a paper in Microsoft Word. Were I a student, I really don't know if I would seek help in the writing center for a technology based question, believing that there might be other venues more suitable for that matter. The attraction of the writing center lies in the employment of its rather suave and handsome tutors. This alone would drive me to seek the center as a venue for self-improvement. That and the simple fact that writing can always be improved, regardless of whether you are an English graduate student or a freshman math major.
