Peninsula College's Learning Center is open to students at all levels and abilities working on projects for any class (including online and WAOL courses) in any discipline. We're creating better students, not just better assignments.

WRITING RESPONSE (room D-217)
Available by appointment Monday through Thursday, 9:00 am to 4:00 pm and Friday 9:00 am to 2:00 pm.

During a 30 minute response session, we will discuss your paper's strengths and weaknesses, focusing first on larger issues such as clarifying ideas, developing and supporting those ideas, structuring them for readability and coherence, and using mechanics (grammar and punctuation) for clarity. We can also help you understand an assignment's expectations and generate ideas before you begin your writing.

RESEARCH & WRITING LAB (room D-216)
Available Monday through Thursday, 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm.
                                     Friday 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm.
