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
