For the fall of 2024, we will be offering only face-to-face appointments, as described below.
Face-to-Face Appointments: Our primary and preferred means of working with writers, face-to-face appointments offer opportunities for fuller and more effective communication while discussing the writing process and a particular text. Face-to-face appointments are held in the USF Writing Center, located in the lower level of Mears Library. While writers can simply drop in to the writing center on a first-come, first-served basis, we recommend making an appointment in order to ensure an appointment at a particular time.
We plan to resume remote services (eTutoring and Online appointment) in the spring of 2025.
eTutoring Appointments: If a writer selects eTutoring, the bottom of the appointment form will provide space to upload up to three (3) documents. Typically, we ask that writers upload two (2) documents: a copy of the assignment sheet and a draft of the paper. Once a peer consultant has responded to the paper, the writer will receive an email with the feedback file attached.
Online Appointments: If a writer selects an online appointment, the writer should log back in this website five to ten minutes before the start of the appointment. Click on the appointment, and then click on the link that reads “Start or Join Online Consultation.” The writer will then be able to converse with a peer consultant in real time through audio and video. The conferencing platform also includes a chat feature and a whiteboard feature.
