Papers received by the Online Writing Lab (OWL) after 12:00 p.m. Friday will be responded to on the following workday.

Please send your paper as an attachment in Microsoft Word (.docx) or (.doc) or Rich Text Format (.rtf) to writing@matc.edu, and include the following information in the body of your email:

• First and last name (include on essay submission)
• Student ID number
• Course name and number
• Instructor's name
• Detailed guidelines for the assignment (Can be copy/pasted into email from Blackboard)
• Assignment due date

Please allow one to two business days for a response. Papers submitted outside of normal MATC Writing Center hours are looked at when the center next reopens. In other words, papers submitted over the weekend will be returned the following Monday or Tuesday. 

Instructors: We offer Writing Skills Workshops, which are especially helpful for instructors of non-English courses who assign papers. For example, "WS-4: Where do I begin? Preparing a First Draft" can help history students get started in the writing process, and "WS-8: To Cite or Not to Cite? APA Documentation Made Easy" can help psychology students properly format their papers.

Request a workshop today!

We currently work in person or online with any MATC student who needs help with the following: 

•    Understanding the steps of the writing process 
•    Practicing prewriting techniques
•    Building an outline
•    Doing research
•    Developing a thesis statement
•    Constructing a logical argument
•    Improving proofreading and editing skills
•    Analyzing literature
•    Using updated MLA/APA/Chicago style documentation
•    Building sentence skills
•    Using Internet resources such as the Online Writing Lab (OWL)
•    Refining scholarship essays

However, we do not:

•    Assist with quizzes, take-home exams, or tests
•    Substitute for class time
•    Write/edit/proofread personal correspondence, business or legal documents, or homework from another college  

We look forward to working with you in the coming year, and we welcome suggestions for how we might better serve your students. We are located in C258 at the Downtown Milwaukee Campus. 

If you have any other questions, please call 297-8189 or email writing@matc.edu.
