The Center for Academic Success (CAS) helps students with writing papers and citing references. The CAS staff will give you feedback on organizing and developing your ideas, and guide you with academic writing, grammar, and MLA and APA formats. They will show you the best ways to revise and proofread, but they do not proofread your work for you.
To get this help and learn how to improve your writing, you can set up a Writing appointment in TutorTrac, or use CAST Anywhere to video chat online as you review a draft of your writing. You can also submit your paper to WriteAid to get feedback via email.
