*WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR WRITING TUTORING SESSION

 When you come in for writing tutoring, you should: 

  • Initiate tutoring several days prior to assignment due date
  • Bring all materials (including assignment instructions)
  • Ask questions, listen to suggestions, and take notes
  • Follow-up after making revisions

Our tutors WILL:

  • Review the assignment instructions
  • Work with you to improve your writing ability
  • Discuss pre-writing, organization, & revision strategies
  • Help with citation questions
  • Explain how to use resources
  • Focus on 1-2 page portions of the paper where you feel you need the most help
  • NOT edit your paper - the tutors will instead discuss areas of concern and help you to become a better writer
