Why do we write?
Writing is a complex mental task and a very personal activity that enables us to think and learn about ourselves and the world. We write to satisfy the need to express our views, to explain ourselves or our knowledge, to understand ourselves, to teach ourselves what we know or do not know, and to convince others of what we know.

Why do instructors give us writing assignments? 
Your instructors give you writing assignments to check on your ability to communicate your ideas in a unified, organized composition, on your mastery of the subject matter, and on your ability to use a prescribed or acceptable format.

Where do you go for writing assistance?
Tutors can assist you with understanding your assignment, collecting your ideas, getting started, and examining your writing for clear expression and meaning.
