Resources for Students

The following sections provide a variety of resources to help you with your writing or instructional needs. We are always developing new resources and content; if there is something you would like to see added, please contact us via email (writing-center@uci.edu) or let us know in person (at Science Library 193). 

Resource Guides

Sentence-level Choices: This page contains resources for composing and reading sentences. Because of English’s flexibility, its intent is to provide resources for sentence-level choices, rather than prescribe a specific writing style. It is also available as a PDF one sheet.

Handouts & Worksheets

The Writing Process
Use these steps when writing! This handout is a two page overview of four steps that make up the writing process: brainstorm, draft, revise, and edit.

Effective Writing Tips

We outline and identify five ways to improve your writing:

1. Start writing early
2. Remember the prompt
3. Pace yourself
4. Write the introduction and conclusion last
5. Revise in a couple days

View this two page handout for detailed information.

Common Writing Concerns #1

This one page handout is the first of a series that describes, outlines, and provides examples of three common writing concerns. We discuss subject-verb disagreement, sentence fragments, and passive voice.
