Planning a Visit?
Writing Center tutors cannot perfect your paper. What they can do is look at areas you are uncertain about and show you strategies for correcting and improving your work.
Please do the following:
- Call ahead to schedule an appointment. While we do take walk-ins, we cannot guarantee that a tutor will be available for you without an appointment, particularly during busy periods of the semester.
- Allow enough time between the appointment and the project due date to make any necessary revisions and to schedule a follow-up Writing Center visit.Tutors can help you with your initial problems and, on your second visit, they can check your work for effectiveness and accuracy.
- Be on time. Tutors have to stay on schedule with their appointments, and they can only hold your appointment for 5-10 minutes if other students are waiting.
- Come prepared by bringing:
- a copy of the assignment
- relevant class notes
- a two or three page freewrite of your planned approach to the essay
