Student Guidelines for Write Site Tutoring Sessions

*Students seeking the assistance of the Write Site are required to present their Student ID for service.

The Write Site DOES:

· Help students with all stages of the writing process from prewriting to revising

· Help students

o develop invention strategies (brainstorming, pre-writing, etc.)

o integrate research findings into their text

o understand appropriate use of documentation

o hone stylistic skills including grammar and usage

o prepare resumes and application letters

· Help non-native speakers with writing in English

· Help with assignments that require use of software related to writing

· Help students prepare to pass the writing portion of THEA

The Write Site DOES NOT:

· Teach specific documentation style rules

· Edit or proofread student work

· Interpret comments from another instructor or justify a grade

· Extend a tutoring session beyond the time scheduled or begin ahead of appointments (limit: two 30 minute sessions per week)

· Assist students with any type of exam (in face to face or OWL sessions)

Expectations for Students

· Active participation and discussion between writer and writing consultant; the success of the session depends entirely on the collaboration between student and the writing consultant.

Attendance

· If students are fifteen or more minutes late for the 30-minute appointment, or more than twenty minutes late for an hour-long appointment, the appointment may be forfeited. Students will have to reschedule or wait until a writing consultant is available.

· If students fail to cancel or reschedule an appointment three times in one semester, they will lose the privilege of using Write Site services until the end of that semester.

Conduct

· The Texas Woman's University Write Site expects those who use this service to respect the rights of writing consultants and other students. Students must conduct themselves courteously and respectfully at all times.

· Students who engage in unacceptable behavior such as physical and/or verbal abuse will be asked to leave, may lose their writing center privileges, and may be subject to university disciplinary action.
