What to Expect from a Session

Sessions are free and open to all CU students. We welcome writing projects from any subject and at any stage of the writing process from brainstorming/planning through revision. We also assist with self-editing and citation.

You’ll discuss your writing with a professionally trained writing consultant who will help you to clarify your thoughts and to convey them more effectively to readers. You’ll also develop an awareness of your process, decision-making, and opportunities as a writer to sharpen your judgment and improve your confidence when planning, drafting, revising, and self-editing.

At the beginning of your session:

1. We’ll ask about your

• assignment requirements (or document’s intended purpose);
• readers’ informational needs, expectations, and attitudes;
• writing process and timeline;
• learning priorities

2. You’ll help us devise a realistic agenda for your 50-minute session, and

• choose whether we read your writing aloud or silently;
• receive reader-centered feedback and advice;
• note changes you wish to make to your paper; and
• learn how to use self-editing and citation techniques and resources.

3. At the end of your session, you’ll

• Review revision and editing strategies;
• receive tip sheets and links to online writing resources;
• create a revision “to-do” list;
• schedule a follow-up session (when desired and available); and,
• complete a three-minute exit survey to share your thoughts about the session.
