Something I wish someone told me my first semester…You can actually take your paper to the Writing Lab before you submit it.
Cochise College students can get Writing and STEM tutoring in person or online without an additional fee (FREE). And when the labs are closed, Tutor.com is available 24/7 through Moodle.
