Prepare for a Tutorial

Expect to make an appointment for a 45-minute session.
Plan to meet one-to-one with a trained writing assistant to work on some aspect of your writing assignment.
Bring your syllabus, assignment sheet, readings, and/or class notes with you.
Be ready to explain, in your own words, what you want to work on, even if you're confused about it.
If you would like to work on an existing draft of your paper, bring a hard copy with you to the session.
If you bring a draft, expect to read it to your writing assistant who will listen and give you feedback about its overall effect.
Consider your writing assistant an informed reader who will help you understand your writing by asking you questions about it.
Don't expect the writing assistant to edit your paper. In order to become a better writer, it is important to understand all aspects of the process.
