Writing Consultations and Workshops:
Policy and Schedules

To ensure that you will be as successful as possible on your essays, I have scheduled three (3) workshops that will help you with content issues on your essay as well as deal with the “nuts and bolts” of organization, formatting, paraphrasing, citations, and works cited pages.

You also have the opportunity to have private writing consultations with Nicole or another of the consultants in the Writing Center.

You can also meet with either Mr. Perez (Roy Cullen 135, Tues. – Thurs. 2:00 – 5:00) or me (by appointment).

In addition to these opportunities counting toward your professionalism grade, you CAN NOT make an “A” or “A-” on your essay unless you have either a one-on-one consultation or attend one of the workshops.

Writing Workshops:

  • Saturday, February 26, from 1:00 – 2:00, AH 211; 3:00 – 4:00 if needed for ILAS students
  • Tuesday, March 1, from 11:30 – 12:30, AH 211
  • Saturday, April 23, 1-3 pm, AH 211

    Sign-up sheets for Nicole, Mike, and the workshops will be in class on Saturdays and in the Writing Center, AH 217, in the red, WID sign-up book, during the week.

    If you can not see Nicole or come to one of the workshops, you can see another consultant in the Writing Center. You can either come during walk-in hours or sign up for a specific time in the sign-in book in AH 217.

Walk-in hours for the Writing Center, AH 214:
(Where is AH - Agnes Arnold Hall? What is the Writing Center?)

M – F: 11:00 am– 2:00 pm

When you come for a writing consultation with someone other than Nicole, bring your prompt and all of your work. Ask the consultant to fill out the consultation form, describe the areas that you covered, and sign it. Staple this form to the back of your essay.

You are also welcome to work with a consultant at any time, whether you are working on one of the web projects or one of the essays. This extra help will only make your writing stronger.

Note: Writing consultants do not edit or “proofread” papers or predict the grade you will receive, but assist you in organizing your thoughts and developing confidence in your ability to communicate.
