Diagnostic Exercises

Do you know what your strengths and weaknesses in writing are? Take the Writing Center's Diagnostic Exercise and find out. After completing the exercise and meeting with a Writing Center tutor, you will receive a personalized plan that can help you progress as a writer. The plan includes a list of Writing Center resources—Directed Learning Activities, workshops, study groups, handouts, and online practice activities—selected with your specific writing needs in mind. (Only Directed Learning Activities, workshops, and study groups count toward required supplemental instruction time.)  For your convenience, links to the Writing Center Diagnostic Resource Guides for English 1A, 450, 550, and 500 appear below.
