Writing & Research Center

"Never Write Alone"

Getting the Most Out of Your Session

Bring:

*Materials related to your assignment. Any drafts, class notes, your assignment prompt, or readings you’re working with can help our tutors understand your writing situation. These may be printed or still on the computer -- we can use both.

*Your writing – or no writing. We can help at any stage. Bring what you have, but don’t be afraid to come even if you don’t have anything but questions.

*Openness, flexibility, and energy. The writing session will go better if you are an active participant. Be open and willing to talk through your ideas and difficulties!

Other Things You Need to Know:

*Come on Time! The writing center gets busy. If you are more than ten minutes late to your session, we will have to give your slot to another waiting student.  When you arrive, take a seat on the couch. Our tutors are likely helping another student and will be right over to help you once they’re done.

*Book early and often. Leave yourself time to make changes. We often fill up 2 weeks in advance, and if you have to cancel, you'll want to do so more than 2 hours in advance in order to avoid future-booking penalties.
