Marks Family Writing Center
What to expect
- maximum 45 minutes of individual consultation
- interactive: don't expect to drop off your paper, literally or mentally. Our sessions pivot upon your engagement with the work
- a few questions to get started, such as:
- Do you have written instructions?
- Have you gotten any feedback from other readers?
- When do you plan on submitting it?
- How close to being finished do you consider it to be?
- Do you have particular concerns or goals?
- some hands-on work to insure that you have a good sense of direction before the session ends
What to bring (as applicable)
- two paper copies of whatever it is you're working on, if you have begun a draft or have received feedback from your professor or TA, and a pencil or pen
- or, your laptop and one paper copy of any document in progress
- your assignment, instructions, application form, job description, proposal guidelines -- ie, description of the task at hand
- any supporting documents, from your notes to books and articles, other feedback from your professor or TA -- anything that sheds light on what you are aiming to do
