Face-to-Face

Preparing for Your Session

• Upload your assignment directions and draft (if you have them)
• If you prefer working on a printed copy of your paper, please bring that with you
• Think about specific questions or areas of the paper you’d like to focus on (especially if you have a longer paper)

What to Expect

• Your writing coach will log you in when you arrive
• Your writing coach will ask you a few questions to see where you’re at in the writing process
• You may be asked to read your paper (or part of it) aloud
• The writing coach may take notes for you throughout the session
• The writing coach may ask questions, make suggestions, or provide you with additional information to help you finish or improve your paper
• Toward the end of the session, the writing coach will ask you if you have any final questions
• Then, the writing coach may help you develop a plan of attack for getting done everything you discussed
• You will be logged out and possibly asked if you would like to make any future appointments right away
• You will be emailed a survey to let us know how we did. Your response is encouraged, but will be anonymous to the writing coach

• Log into Navigate, click “Schedule an Appointment” on the right, then select “Writing Center,” choose either 60 or 30 minutes, select which time best fits your schedule. Under how would you like to meet, select In-Person.
