Current Schedule

What to Expect

Before you visit:

  • Proofread your paper to catch typos and obvious mistakes
  • Have specific issues to discuss about your paper
  • Sessions take about 30 - 40 minutes
  • In addition, plan to make edits after your visit. Allow for proper time management!
  • Come early! Do not wait until an hour before the paper is due to bring it in
  • Run a grammar check by utilizing Grammarly. If you have trouble accessing Grammarly, please ask a writing coach for help.
  • Bring the syllabus/assignment.

Writing coaches will NOT:

  • Do revisions, edit, proofread, grammar check or make notes on your paper.
  • Interpret your professor's notes or assignment. We can help you understand, but always consult your professor if you have specific questions on the assignment itself. 
  • Help on quizzes, tests or finals.

Writing coaches WILL:

  • Help you brainstorm! It's our favorite thing. Please come early and often during the course of the writing of your paper. 
  • Focus on a handful of repetitive errors and teach you how to fix them
  • Cheerlead, guide, and help you through the process of writing. Writing a paper is intimidating! We can help you every step of the way
  • Work through the paper with you and help you improve your organization, grammar, and writing skills so you can self-edit and become more confident as a writer
