Q: Why should I go to the Learning Center?
A: Learning takes a lot of time and effort. Everyone, no matter how capable, can benefit from spending additional time studying with others. The earlier in the semester you take advantage of Tutoring and the Writing Center, the more you will benefit. Of course, participating in Learning Center activities does not guarantee a passing or improved grade.
Q: Who can come to Tutoring or the Writing Center?
A: Any Longwood student.
Q: Do I need a note from a professor?
A: No, any student can participate in Learning Center activities.
Q: How much does it cost to use the Learning Center services?
A: There is no charge for Longwood students.
Q: How do I sign up?
A: You don’t need to sign up for Tutoring – just show up for the session you want to attend. To work with a Writing Center consultant, call x2393 for an appointment.
Q: I don’t see the class I’m looking for on the list of Labs. What should I do?
A: Check with Rebecca Sturgill (x2050) for more information.
Q: I’m doing all right in my Spanish class, but I’d like to practice more. Can I come to Foreign Language Lab?
A: Yes. And it would be a good idea.
Q: Where are the sessions?
A: Click here for locations and times.
Q: Isn’t getting help at the Writing Center a violation of the Honor Code?
A: Not at all. The consultants are there to help you develop as a writer, not to do your work for you.
Q: How can I apply to work for the Learning Center?
A: Contact Mrs. Smith (x2393) or Ms. Sturgill (x2050) for more information.
Q: Can someone at the Writing Center proofread my paper?
A: No. Writing Center consultants can help you learn techniques for proofreading your own writing, but they can’t work on your paper.
