Page Content

We offer different kinds of appointments for different goals:

Planning Session*

If you’re brainstorming and planning, schedule a Planning Session​.

A typical planning session will involve:​

• Discussing assignment specifics with a tutor​
• Developing a timeline to make sure you finish before the assignment is due​
• Setting up additional Writing Center appointments as needed​
• Discussing first steps of the work​

Accountability Appointment​*

If you’re drafting and getting work done, schedule an Accountability Appointment​.

A typical accountability appointment will involve:​

• In the first five minutes, you'll discuss your writing goals for the session with your tutor​
• You will spend the bulk of time working on your own as your tutor works beside you​
• If you have any questions or need help getting "unstuck," the tutor will help you out​
• In the last minutes, you'll talk about the progress you made and plan next steps​

Feedback Session

If you’re working on revision and polishing, schedule a Feedback Session​.

A typical feedback session will involve:​

• You will provide the written work you've completed to the session or upload it to your appointment slot before hand​
• The tutor will spend the first five minutes getting a sense of what you want to achieve in the session and set reasonable expectations for the time​
• From there, the tutor will review the document with you, looking for strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for improvement​
• The goal is to develop your skills as you work together​
• At the end of the session, you'll review what got done.​

* Please note: Planning Sessions and Accountability Appointments cannot be held using our asynchronous E-Tutoring modality. These kinds of session can only be done face-to-face or through an online, streaming appointment.
