Common Questions:

• When may I come?
• What should I bring?
• What will happen?
• How long will the tutorial session take?
• How do I book an appointment?

When may I come?
You can come to the Writing Center at any stage in the writing process. You can come in after you have received the assignment to discuss ideas with a tutor. Or you can bring in an outline or even notes to go over with the tutor. Once you have begun writing we will look over any stage of a draft whether it is incomplete, rough, or final. But please don't bring in a final draft mere minutes before it is due as we will be unable to help you with anything.

What should I bring?
Bring your ideas and a willingness to work. Writing tutors also like to see assignment sheets and any written work you have done on the paper and/or your most current draft.

What will happen?
Tutorial Sessions are active exchanges between the student and the tutor. Students often read their rough drafts aloud and identify places that need attention. Tutors watch for larger issues like the strength of a thesis statement, supporting details and organization before focusing on other essential elements of effective writing (documentation, punctuation, usage).

How long will the tutorial session take?
An average session takes about thirty minutes. This will, of course, vary depending on the length and complexity of the paper.   If you know you want more time than thirty minutes, please let us know when you schedule your appointment.

How do I book an appointment?
