Writing Idol Winner

Congratulations to undergraduate student Xiaofei (Sophie) Zhou, the Case Western Reserve University Writing Resource Center's first Writing Idol Contest winner, and to runners up Liz Mrugacz and Emily Birkel.  Zhon, who won an iPod Nano, competed against several other Case undergradutes in a series of writing-oriented rounds judged by a standing-room only audience of Case faculty and students.

 

We hope you'll join us at these upcoming events:

 

Writing Idol / Writing Week WRC Open House

Friday, April 17
3:00 - 5:00 p.m., WRC Library (104 Bellflower Hall)


Do you have the "write" stuff? Here's your chance to prove it at this exciting Writing Week event! Students will compete to be Case's first ever Writing Idol by reading selections from their best critical or creative essays in front of our panel of expert judges. The contest will also consist of several other writing rounds, where improvisation in writing is key. The winner takes home a new iPod Nano, and the runners up and audience members receive great prizes too. So, start preparing your best work today! Refreshments will be served.

Welcome

The Writing Resource Center (WRC) at Case Western Reserve University provides supplemental, discipline-specific writing instruction to students of all levels at the university. Our writing consultants work one-on-one with students on a wide variety of projects.  We encourage visits from students at any stage of the writing process, from brainstorming and
drafting, to revising and organizing, to sharpening expression.  While we also work with students on issues of mechanics and grammar, we are not a proofreading service.  Our consultants work collaboratively with students to assist them in becoming better writers on their own.

 

 

Writing Center Hours

WRC hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday in Bellflower Hall. Hours will vary at our satellite locations. Students may schedule appointments at any of our locations through the WC Online scheduling system.

 

New this semester: The WRC will also offer evening hours on certain days as late as 8:00 p.m. in Bellflower Hall and Sages Cafe. Visit the WC Online scheduling system for specific hours and locations.

 

Locations

The Writing Center is located in Room 104, Bellflower Hall. (Building 5A on the Campus Map). We also have satellite locations on the 4th floor of Nord Hall, the 1st floor of Kelvin Smith Library, and in the SAGES Café.

 

Online Tutoring

The Writing Resource Center now offers day and evening online tutoring. To view our online availabilities, go to our scheduling site and select “Online Tutoring” from the drop down menu on either the login or the main scheduling screen. You will then be asked to download the whiteboard/chat software, which will enable you and your consultant to view and modify your paper online. (The module may at first take a few seconds to download; after this, the software will load and work very quickly.) Please note that online tutoring sessions are designed to be as interactive as possible, and that appointments must be made at least one day in advance. If you have any questions, please contact us at writingcenter@case.edu.
