These consultations can help you better understand assignment requirements, develop your ideas, identify and address key aspects of your writing that you want to revise, learn to cite and document sources, and practice strategies for proofreading and editing.

If you haven\u2019t worked with a consultant on this writing task before, they will probably begin by asking you a number of questions: about your assignment requirements, about what you\u2019ve done so far, and about what questions or concerns you have, or what specific parts of your paper you want to focus on. The tutor wants to have a better understanding of what you\u2019re working on, and gather information that will help the two of you decide what to prioritize during the consultation. You won\u2019t be able to discuss all aspects of your writing in 30-45 minutes, so they may recommend a few key issues to focus on. After that, the tutor might read part of your paper aloud, or ask you to read it. You\u2019ll discuss key issues, and the consultant might have you do some revising during the consultation so you can practice the strategies you\u2019re talking about. At the end of the consultation, you\u2019ll log out, and your tutor will send you an email that will recap what you did during the session and serve as your \u201cto-do\u201d list for continuing to revise after you leave.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default fusion-faq-post fusion-faq-post-14009 consultations-and-scheduling \"><span class=\"entry-title rich-snippet-hidden\">Are consultations available in-person or online?<\/span><span class=\"vcard rich-snippet-hidden\"><span class=\"fn\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cah.ucf.edu\/uwc\/author\/madunn\/\" title=\"Posts by Matthew Dunn\" rel=\"author\">Matthew Dunn<\/a><\/span><\/span><span class=\"updated rich-snippet-hidden\">2021-08-24T17:22:06+00:00<\/span><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 id=\"faq_2-14009\" class=\"panel-title toggle\"><a data-toggle=\"collapse\" class=\"collapsed\" data-target=\"#collapse-2-14009\" href=\"#collapse-2-14009\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><div class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\"><div class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper-main\"><div class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper-sub\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon awb-icon-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon awb-icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">Are consultations available in-person or online?<\/div><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"collapse-2-14009\" aria-labelledby=\"faq_2-14009\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse\"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content post-content\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We are happy to offer availability for both in-person and online sessions!

Too often, students see required visits as a punishment for bad writing. If faculty choose to require or offer credit for writing center visits, then we recommend a wide window for scheduling appointments, staggering consultation deadlines for large classes, and guiding students on how to make the best use of their time with us. Since writing center visits help writers revise, we request that faculty send students to the UWC with writing that they intend to work on further, after the consultation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you would like to brainstorm with a UWC administrator about how to incorporate writing center sessions into your course, please email <\/span><a href=\"mailto:uwc@ucf.edu\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">uwc@ucf.edu<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and we\u2019ll be happy to collaborate with you!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default fusion-faq-post fusion-faq-post-14082 for-faculty \"><span class=\"entry-title rich-snippet-hidden\">If I send a student to the UWC, will I see an immediate improvement in their writing?<\/span><span class=\"vcard rich-snippet-hidden\"><span class=\"fn\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cah.ucf.edu\/uwc\/author\/mchao\/\" title=\"Posts by Mariana Chao\" rel=\"author\">Mariana Chao<\/a><\/span><\/span><span class=\"updated rich-snippet-hidden\">2021-08-24T18:58:27+00:00<\/span><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 id=\"faq_4-14082\" class=\"panel-title toggle\"><a data-toggle=\"collapse\" class=\"collapsed\" data-target=\"#collapse-4-14082\" href=\"#collapse-4-14082\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><div class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\"><div class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper-main\"><div class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper-sub\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon awb-icon-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon awb-icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">If I send a student to the UWC, will I see an immediate improvement in their writing?<\/div><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"collapse-4-14082\" aria-labelledby=\"faq_4-14082\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse\"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content post-content\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Like the classroom, the UWC is a learning space. We don\u2019t look at a writer\u2019s current project only as an end in itself, but as a means to teach reading and writing strategies students can use throughout their lives. Students tend to find their experiences with the UWC are most effective when they make use of tutoring repeatedly over time. Recurring consultations encourage writers and tutors to focus not merely on \u201cfixing\u201d a single piece of writing, but on developing skills for the next writing task, and the next. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-6 fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"--awb-margin-top:35px;--awb-margin-bottom:9px;--awb-sep-color:#cc9900;\"><h2 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;\"><span style=\"font-size: 28px;\">Other Writing Center Questions<\/span><\/h2><span class=\"awb-title-spacer\"><\/span><div class=\"title-sep-container\"><div class=\"title-sep sep-double sep-solid\" style=\"border-color:#cc9900;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-faqs-wrapper #accordian-5 .fusion-panel { border-color:#e0dede; }.fusion-faqs-wrapper #accordian-5 .fusion-panel:hover{ border-color: #e0dede; }.fusion-accordian #accordian-5 .panel-title a .fa-fusion-box:before{ font-size: 13px;width: 13px;}.fusion-accordian #accordian-5 .panel-title a .fa-fusion-box{ color: #ffffff;}.fusion-accordian  #accordian-5 .panel-title a{font-family:\"PT Sans\";font-style:normal;font-weight:400;}.fusion-accordian  #accordian-5 .panel-title a:not(:hover){color:#333333;}.fusion-accordian  #accordian-5 .toggle-content{font-family:\"PT Sans\";font-style:normal;font-weight:400;}.fusion-accordian #accordian-5 .fa-fusion-box { background-color: #333333 !important;border-color: #333333 !important;}.fusion-accordian #accordian-5 .panel-title a:hover,.fusion-accordian #accordian-5 .panel-title a.hover { color: #9e9e9e;}.fusion-faq-shortcode .fusion-accordian #accordian-5 .fusion-toggle-boxed-mode:hover .panel-title a { color: #9e9e9e;}.fusion-accordian #accordian-5 .panel-title .active .fa-fusion-box,.fusion-accordian #accordian-5 .panel-title a:hover .fa-fusion-box,.fusion-accordian #accordian-5 .panel-title a.hover .fa-fusion-box { background-color: #9e9e9e!important;border-color: #9e9e9e!important;}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-faq-shortcode\" style=\"\"><div class=\"fusion-faqs-wrapper\"><div class=\"accordian fusion-accordian\"><div class=\"panel-group \" id=\"accordian-5\"><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default fusion-faq-post fusion-faq-post-14086 other-writing-center-questions \"><span class=\"entry-title rich-snippet-hidden\">English is not my first language.

Some consultants may be able to assist with writing in other languages and we actively recruit multilingual tutors, but we cannot guarantee that a tutor proficient in a particular language will be available. If you have particular questions or concerns about some aspect of your writing in English, please bring those up to your consultant at the start of the session and they will be happy to work with you.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default fusion-faq-post fusion-faq-post-14089 other-writing-center-questions \"><span class=\"entry-title rich-snippet-hidden\">Can you help me with my scientific, technical, or other discipline-specific writing?<\/span><span class=\"vcard rich-snippet-hidden\"><span class=\"fn\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cah.ucf.edu\/uwc\/author\/mchao\/\" title=\"Posts by Mariana Chao\" rel=\"author\">Mariana Chao<\/a><\/span><\/span><span class=\"updated rich-snippet-hidden\">2021-08-24T19:05:17+00:00<\/span><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 id=\"faq_5-14089\" class=\"panel-title toggle\"><a data-toggle=\"collapse\" class=\"collapsed\" data-target=\"#collapse-5-14089\" href=\"#collapse-5-14089\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><div class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\"><div class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper-main\"><div class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper-sub\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon awb-icon-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon awb-icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">Can you help me with my scientific, technical, or other discipline-specific writing?<\/div><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"collapse-5-14089\" aria-labelledby=\"faq_5-14089\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse\"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content post-content\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yes. Our peer writing consultants come from a wide variety of UCF majors and programs. While they might know the exact conventions of your discipline or have the background to immediately understand the content of your writing, they are trained and highly-skilled collaborators proficient in asking questions to learn more about your specific writing task and goals. Most writers find that having the opportunity to explain what they\u2019re working on and think through it with someone else is valuable, even if the consultant doesn\u2019t have the technical or discipline-specific background of, say, a faculty advisor or mentor. In fact, having to explain what you\u2019re working on to someone else can be a good way of checking both your own understanding and thinking about how different audiences might understand and appreciate your work. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default fusion-faq-post fusion-faq-post-14091 other-writing-center-questions \"><span class=\"entry-title rich-snippet-hidden\">I\u2019m a graduate student.

Many graduate students find UWC services to be especially helpful when they\u2019re working on extended writing projects like theses or dissertations as well as when writing new genres like research proposals and articles. Consider setting up an appointment early in the writing process to get some initial feedback on your ideas, develop a writing plan, and generate questions you might ask a faculty mentor or advisor.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default fusion-faq-post fusion-faq-post-14093 other-writing-center-questions \"><span class=\"entry-title rich-snippet-hidden\">How do I apply to be a peer writing consultant?<\/span><span class=\"vcard rich-snippet-hidden\"><span class=\"fn\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cah.ucf.edu\/uwc\/author\/mchao\/\" title=\"Posts by Mariana Chao\" rel=\"author\">Mariana Chao<\/a><\/span><\/span><span class=\"updated rich-snippet-hidden\">2021-08-24T19:12:24+00:00<\/span><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 id=\"faq_5-14093\" class=\"panel-title toggle\"><a data-toggle=\"collapse\" class=\"collapsed\" data-target=\"#collapse-5-14093\" href=\"#collapse-5-14093\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><div class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\"><div class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper-main\"><div class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper-sub\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon awb-icon-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon awb-icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">How do I apply to be a peer writing consultant?<\/div><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"collapse-5-14093\" aria-labelledby=\"faq_5-14093\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse\"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content post-content\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">More information about being a peer writing consultant and our recruitment process can be found at <a href=\"https:\/\/cah.ucf.edu\/uwc\/become-a-consultant\/\">this page<\/a>.
