Making an appointment at the Writing Center is great, but what excatly happens during the appointment?
A Writing Center appointment, or one-on-one consultation, is an opportunity for students to receive additional feedback on their written assigments. For shorter assignments, the tutor will go over the assignment with the student and ask questions concerning clarity, intention, and structure. The tutor will also provide feedback and direction concerning grammar and/or conventions.
It is important that the student to comes prepared to the meeting by having specific questions or concerns ready.
