What is a writing consultation?
Writing consultations are one-on-one conversations in which our specially trained Peer Tutors support you in a writing project. You can attend a writing consultation at any point in your writing process, not only after you have something written. The basic goals of a writing consultation are to help you meet the requirements of your writing assignment with confidence and to address specific concerns you may have about academic writing. In concrete terms, over the course of a consultation you might:
- analyze your writing process;
- explore writing strategies and time-management solutions suitable to your project and writing process;
- address possible causes of and solutions to writer's block;
- develop your ideas and arguments in conversation;
- discuss the writing conventions of your discipline and how to write to them;
- and receive feedback on your writing.
