A consultation is a meeting between a student and a writing instructor, planned in advance, on specific aspects of a student’s writing. In discussion with the student, an instructor will work with the student in order to concentrate on those areas of writing that could be improved.
While an instructor advises about possible changes to the writing, a student is ultimately responsible for making decisions regarding the final version they will submit.
Students have found the opportunity to discuss their writing with an instructor over the course of the academic year to be one of the most valuable components of the Center’s academic support.
