Welcome, I’m Dr. Michelle Rosensitto, Director of Brandman University’s Online Writing and Math Community. I’d like to give you a brief tour 
of our state-of-the-art writing and math help services for Brandman University students.
But first, I’d like to take a moment to share a 
sample of the great feedback we receive from Brandman students.  Listen to what Robert Smith and Luis Espinal have to say about our 
writing help resources: 
Why do something yourself when there is a group of experts out there that can help you with 
your writing. It’s fine to have a family member or friend to read a paper over, but if you want a non-biased, expert opinion, then I highly recommend 
the Online Writing Community! 
~ Robert Smith
The Online Writing Community is wonderful! All 
of the staff members are there for you whenever you need assistance, and at the end of the day, all of their efforts help you improve your personal 
writing abilities. No matter what field you are in, . . . the benefit of having that second pair of eyes on your work is invaluable. . . . Overall, I 
have had a fantastic experience and recommend that other students take advantage of the OWC as a learning resource.

Let’s start our tour at the Online Writing and Math Community main page, which loads from 
our icon on this DISABILITY SERVICES/ACCESSBILE EDUCATION page.  From here, you can find both writing help and 
math help.   
By selecting the “Writing Help” link, you will arrive at our Online Writing Community main 
page.  As a Brandman student, you have access to live, online Writing Workshops every week of the term, and you can view our current 
workshop schedule from the “Calendar” icon on this Online Writing Community main page.  Topics range from how to write a strong thesis 
sentence, to how to organize a college research paper, to lessons on APA and MLA style citation formats. Please attend as many of these free 
workshops as you like.
If you’re unable to attend live workshops, you’ll be glad to know that we post recordings of all of 
our live workshops on our “Workshop Recordings” page.  You can listen to a recorded workshop as often as you like, any time of day 
or night.  
From the Online Writing Community’s lift-side main menu bar, you’ll notice a link to our Writing 
Tools page, where you’ll find guides and video tutorials on MLA and APA style, as well as many other grammar and writing issues.  This is 
just one of the Online Writing Community’s great academic resources you’ll want to be sure explore.
From both the Online Writing Community and the Online Math Community main pages, you can go to our “Tutoring” page.  You’ll notice 
icons indicating the options for “Live, Online Tutoring” and to “Submit a Paper in Email.” 
Students also have access to our live, online 
office hours. From this Tutoring page, you can go to the “Live, Online Office Hours” icon to view our schedule.  You’ll see that you can log in and 
talk with a writing or math tutor almost any day of the week.  Please do remember that you may share this hour with other Brandman students.
Finally, if you just want to ask a quick question about something like how to cite a source or how to access our services, you’re welcome to 
send email by clicking on the “Quick Question” icon at the bottom of this Tutoring page.  We guarantee a reply in less than 24 hours.  
At the Online Writing and Math Community, we focus on providing innovative academic resources for Brandman students, and I hope 
you’ll feel free to contact me with questions, comments or suggestions. We’re here to help you succeed!
