You can get help with just about any project that requires writing.
- You can work through any aspect of the writing process -- brainstorming, pre-writing, drafting, or revision. So don't feel as if you can only bring in finished papers. You can get assistance coming up with ideas for papers as well. You can also get assistance with grammar and punctuation issues. Need assistance with MLA or APA documentation? We can help! TRiO tutoring can assist you with the issues surrounding citation and plagiarism as well.
- You can schedule appointments as you need them throughout the semester, or you can set up regular weekly or monthly appointments. If you are unable to get an appointment because the schedule is full, you can even email your papers to Heather and receive help over the internet!
