What is involved with getting feedback from a writing tutor?
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 you to apply those details to the rest of the paper and continue to review and edit.
When you submit your paper, if you would like a private conference to discuss your paper with the Writing Tutor, write "I want a conference" in the comment box along with some times that you are available. The writing tutor will get back to you through Canvas inbox.
Turn on Canvas notifications in order to receive an alert when the Writing Tutor invites you to a conference.
