With a focus on feedback rather than correction, face-to-face consulting is the classic Writing Center method of working. You come to our office (3211 MHRA) and work one-on-one with a consultant. Face-to-face consulting is appropriate for all sorts of writing. No appointment is required. For more information call us at 336.334.3125 or send us a message using the chat box to the left.

Focusing on feedback rather than correction, the Online Writing Center (OWC) is great for working on things like brainstorming, organization, paragraph structure, introductions and conclusions, and transitions. Since your document gets reformatted, this method is not effective for questions about formatting or layout. Also, it's good to remember that even though we expect most things we do online to go fast, writing center sessions are designed to go slowly. This allows us to spend time with you as a writer. We won't be able to go through your paper line by line, focusing only on grammar error. Instead, it's more productive to focus on larger issues like organization or thesis development.
Plan on about 5 minutes to set up your session and up to an hour to work on your paper.
To start a session, or to learn more, just send us a message using the chat box to the left or IM us through your iSpartan account using our screen name askthewc and we'll respond as soon as possible.
