Why was Proofreading established?

Proofreading (Academic English Support) is a proofreading service that was launched by the Center for Teaching and Learning in 2016 to achieve the goal of increasing to 45% the percentage of students who write their senior theses in English.

At ICU, all students write a senior thesis. As part of its writing support services, the Center for Teaching and Learning offers proofreading support for students writing their senior theses in English to increase the percentage of students who write their senior theses in English.

To enable students who have completed the ELA to develop their English writing skills further and ultimately write their senior theses in English, proofreading support is also offered for students working on assignments, essays, and papers for undergraduate courses.
*This project (proofreading) will end in March 2024.
