Assistance for Onsite Students
Students can make an appointment with the writing tutor for a wide range of writing assistance. Typically, students bring their papers or writing assignments to discuss research, paper planning, organization, grammar, punctuation, style, and citation. A tutoring session can also include general writing and language improvement exercises, or even help with a cover letter or resume. Each session is catered to the students' needs. In addition to bringing their work with a clear description of the assignment, students should come prepared to talk about their writing strengths and weaknesses and be ready to work to improve their writing, not just expect the tutor to edit. Students interested purely in editing must bring papers that are already in their final draft stage.
Contact the Writing Consultant to make an appointment or stop by the Office of Student and Alumni Services with any questions.
