As a result of the increased publicity, 50% more students visited us in the Fall semester of 1998 than during the previous semester. A total of 249 students had sessions with tutors and many others used the facilities for private study. When asked for their comments, they all were positive about their experience; for example, they wrote "very helpful", "I learnt a lot", and "I'm planning to come again."

The Writing Center is not just for poor writers: we can all improve our writing. From the planning stage to the final editing, discussing a paper with others is one way to obtain excellent results.
