AU-GWC Consultations

(All consultations are confidential between the

student and the Writing Center staff)

 

Consultations with a Writing Assistant

will address the following:  

pen APA guidelines

pen Adherence to the assignment

                                     

pen Organization and structure

pen Statement and development of position

pen Flow, readability, and style

pen Finding, understanding, and correcting patterns

of mechanical errors

         

 

Set up a consultation by following three easy steps:

pen     When you get your course syllabi, take note of when each paper is due.

 

pen     Contact the GWC by e-mail as soon as possible to set up a date for a future consultation. The

          consultation itself may be done by e-mail or face-to-face.

 

pen     Bring a typed, spell-checked, double-spaced and proofread draft of your paper to the consultation, or

          send it to the appropriate e-mail address as listed below. Attach your paper to the e-mail as a

          Microsoft Word document.

          A staff member will read your paper, make comments in the text, and return your paper to you. General

          comments may be listed at the end of the paper, so be sure to read the entire paper before starting

          your revision.

Tip    If you have any questions about APA and the presentation of your sources (in-text citations and/or  

          Reference List), then bring your source materials or copies of them to your appointment.

Please Note:

          The GWC is not an editing and correction service. The Writing Assistant will assist students to identify

          and correct errors. If there are so many mechanical errors that we cannot effectively work with the

          paper, then we reserve the right to decline the paper until these writing skills and errors are

          addressed. The GWC will try to provide names of proofreaders for you to contact if you desire or need

          proofreading service.

          We also reserve the right to decline any paper about which we are first contacted less than two full

          business days before the due date. Papers received after Friday at 4:00 PM will be considered to have

          been received the following workday at 8:00 AM.
