Appoinment

Drop-ins: 15 minutes
Scheduled: 25 minutes

You can schedule an appointment online. Just visit the “Booking” link at the top of the page and follow the instructions.
You may also drop in, but booking in advance will guarantee you a longer consultation with the peer tutor.
Please arrive at least 10 minutes early to register. You will fill in a form before your first meeting, and the information will be entered into a computer data base.
You may make multiple appointments, but we encourage no more than 2 per week, and separated by at least 2 days to allow you time for revisions.
If you are late for an appointment, you may forfeit the session.
If you miss two appointments without cancelling them in advance, you will not be allowed to use the Hub service for the rest of the semester.

Bring two copies of your paper if you are working on a draft, one for you and one for the consultant.
Bring the assignment sheet if you are working on a particular course assignment. This will help the tutor provide good feedback.
Bring a copy of your instructor’s comments if you want to discuss how to include feedback you already received on the assignment.
If you have notes, previous writing, a particular text, and/or research materials related to your draft, bring them to the appointment.

Peer tutors do not proofread papers. They work with you on higher-order concerns to increase the quality of the work as a whole.
You help set the agenda for the conference. The consultant needs to know what you are trying to accomplish, what you have trouble with, etc.
You will think, write and talk about how you write. You will also discuss the writing process in general.
Our aim is two-fold: to help you with your concerns about the paper at hand and to suggest to you something new about the craft of writing.
