During Writing Groups, writers of all backgrounds share their work, giving and receiving feedback. Facilitated by an UCWbL Group Leader, this collaborative experience allows participants to share and discuss their writing with each other, and in so doing, improve their successful practices.
Writing Groups can meet at any DePaul campus on any day of the week, and a Writing Center Tutor will join to help facilitate the conversation. Any member of the DePaul community can join or form a Writing Group.

[quote style=”1″]The Suburban Campus Writing Groups have been a very positive learning experience. Not having any background with academic writing, I found myself second guessing my material and not knowing how to critique it. The staff was great with their assistance, but it was the interaction with other students that provided the best return on time invested. While I have used this workshop to review class materials, I have also used the resources for a sounding board for blog materials, ILPs and my resume. I would suggest that everyone take advantage of these sessions to make your writing better. You will see improvement and gain confidence very quickly after a few sessions.[/quote]
