session

Writing Consultants help by:

discussing an assignment with the writer in order to encourage understanding and
clarification of the writing task
determining where writing can use improvement and how the writer can revise their
work effectively
generating ideas, notes, and outlines with the writer and helping the writer develop a
plan for his/her project which is focused on a particular audience
engaging a conversation with writers about their ideas and desires for their project
asking questions that guide a writer to consider changes that will help them to
communicate effectively
offering explanation of the writing process and assisting students at all stages of
that process

What can a writer do to make a visit to the Writing Center most productive?

Bring a copy of the assignment
Bring a draft of the paper/writing assignment
Share with the tutor your goals for your session: grammar, argumentation, citation,
support, etc.
Come early in the process of writing so we can provide help before a writer becomes
lost, stuck, or overwhelmed; longer and more complex assignments take more time
to read and review so the writer should come to the Center at least a week in advance.
