•The tutor will address specific questions, as well as provide general feedback/suggestions about areas of the paper that need work; they will not proofread the paper. The tutor will review sections of the paper and make suggestions and notes, then encourage the student to apply those details to the rest of the paper and continue to review and edit.

•If the student would like a private conference to discuss a paper with the Writing Tutor, they can indicate so in the comments. The student can turn on notifications in order to receive an alert when the Writing Tutor invites them to the conference. The schedule of Writing Tutors is available here.

•Tutors will not simply provide answers to questions but will utilize the space as a way to help the student get to the correct answer.

• When creating a discussion post, students should use the course as the name of the discussion so that the appropriate tutor responds to the request.
