The Academic Writing Centre
Rebekah Eckert
The Writing Centre offers individual consultation on academic writing for students from any discipline. Students can be undergraduate or graduate students. The appointments are for one hour and students can ask for advice at any stage in the writing process: beginning research, rough sketches in the middle, or final drafts.
We are happy to support students! Tutors are selected for their ability to respond flexibly and supportively to students in the various challenges they face. The one area the Writing Centre will not address is proofreading; we want to teach students to be better writers, not simply produce a better piece of writing.
You can refer students to the Centre’s website where they can book appointments. Appointments are usually face to face in our location in the Library, but we can also have appointments on video and via the exchange of text files.
If you would like a student to access the Writing Centre to discuss plagiarism, please be as explicit as possible in your instructions to your student; you might consider emailing the tutors at the Centre directly to ensure your aims are met.
