Services
1-on-1, 45-minute tutoring appointments
DSC Writing Center consultants want to engage you in a conversation about your writing and help you plan and revise it. Consultants refrain from editing or grading your work, but instead customize strategies for you to improve your writing and communication skills. Consultations for individuals or small groups start on the hour and half hour and last up to 45 minutes. Making an appointment in advance is the best way to ensure someone will be available to work with you at a time convenient for you.
The Daytona Beach Campus is home to the Attic, which is an open, reconfigurable space equipped with couches, worktables, a smartboard, projector, and creative technology. You can reserve the space for your creative collaboration by emailing CWC@DaytonaState.edu.
Workshops
The Writing Center offers classroom visits or workshops. Popular topics include research strategies, using MLA or APA, or learning presentation software. We're happy to work with faculty or groups to create custom writing workshops.
InfoGuides
The DSC Writing Center maintains InfoGuides informing on writing strategies involving planning and drafting, grammar and mechanics, and citation and documentation.
