Many of my students are terrible proofreaders. Can I suggest that they bring their papers to the Writing Center for proofreading?
No, but you can suggest that they go to the Writing Center to learn how to recognize and correct their errors. Our consultants won’t do students’ editing or proofreading for them because they won’t learn anything that way, but we are happy to provide instruction in grammar, usage, sentence structure, punctuation, etc., in the context of reading and discussing the writing that students bring to us.
