(Information for Writing Consultants)
Find help one of two ways:
1. Students can find a Writing Consultant every Sunday and Wednesday evening between 7 pm and 9 pm on the second floor of the Music Library. This is our walk-in service. (Click here to see which consultants will be in the library in coming weeks.)
2. Students can arrange a private consultation by emailing a Writing Consultant and setting up an appointment at a convenient time. It can't get much easier than this!!
All Peabody students--graduates as well as undergraduates--can receive free help with their writing projects.
As long as you are working on a specific writing project you can
obtain help from a Writing Consultant. Seek help at any stage: to get
things rolling if you are having trouble getting started, or to polish
something that is almost complete.
If you are struggling with your writing, work with a Writing
Consultant will actually save time! Sessions are 40 minutes long. If
you plan in advance, two or three working sessions with a Writing
Consultant on successive days will make a big difference.
Remember, Writing Consultant cannot help you get started on a
writing assignment if you have not been to class, not taken notes, or
not read what's assigned! If you are severely behind in your course,
you need a PEER TUTOR, not a Writing Consultant. Consult with your
professor about this.
Different professors have different expectations. A Writing Consultant can better help you fulfill your professor's expectations if s/he reviews your assignment and whatever other guidelines you might have received in class. Plan to discuss these things during your consultation, so bring them with you to your consultation.
