What to Expect from a Session
Sessions are free and open to all CU students. We welcome writing projects from any subject and at any stage of the writing process from brainstorming/planning through revision. We also assist with self-editing and citation.
You’ll discuss your writing with a professionally trained writing consultant who will help you to clarify your thoughts and to convey them more effectively to readers. You’ll also develop an awareness of your process, decision-making, and opportunities as a writer to sharpen your judgment and improve your confidence when planning, drafting, revising, and self-editing.
At the beginning of your session:
- We’ll ask about your
- assignment requirements (or document’s intended purpose);
- readers’ informational needs, expectations, and attitudes;
- writing process and timeline;
- learning priorities
- You’ll help us devise a realistic agenda for your 50-minute session, and
- choose whether we read your writing aloud or silently;
- receive reader-centered feedback and advice;
- note changes you wish to make to your paper; and
- learn how to use self-editing and citation techniques and resources.
- At the end of your session, you’ll
- Review revision and editing strategies;
- receive tip sheets and links to online writing resources;
- create a revision “to-do” list;
- schedule a follow-up session (when desired and available); and,
- complete a three-minute exit survey to share your thoughts about the session.
