How can students improve their writing skills?
The Critical Writing Program is designed to provide students with several avenues for developing their writing skills. Students can work on their writing with senior tutors at The Penn Writing Center. Senior tutors are advanced graduate students trained to offer constructive criticism across the disciplines. Students can also get feedback on their writing assignments and papers from peer tutors, advanced undergraduates who have been extensively trained in peer review and writing strategies. Peer tutors also provide 24-hour online help with writing.
