What kind of appointments do you offer?
At this time, we offer in-person, online (Zoom), and email appointments.
I want someone to proofread my project. Can I just drop it off?
At the Center for Writing and Communication (CWC), we want to help you develop your writing and communication skills. We believe that the best way to do this is to have a conversation about your work, focusing initially on big picture issues, like focus and organization. To help students most effectively, we require that students work with us in appointments and do not allow drop off service.聽 Note that the CWC will only work with the original author of an assignment or document.
How do I make an appointment?
To make an appointment, complete the following steps:
- Go to our聽website,聽find the “Click here” button to make an appointment.
- Select the “All Available” option or a specific tutor that you would like to work with.
- Select a day and time that works best for you.
- Click “Continue to Registration.”
- Answer all applicable questions.
- Select if you would like an in-person, online, or email appointment.
- Upload your work and any rubric or assignment instructions to the form.
- Click “Submit.”
***Remember that if you choose an email appointment and did not upload your assignment to the form, you need to email a copy or video of your project to cwc@uca.edu before your scheduled appointment time.
How do I cancel my appointment?
You can find a link to cancel your appointment in the confirmation email you recieve after having made an appointment.
Alternatively, you can call the CWC at (501) 450-5123 or email聽cwc@uca.edu聽to cancel your appointment.
What can I expect at my appointment?
Every session goes a bit differently, but we recommend you come prepared with your assignment sheet, current draft, sources, and specific questions about what you want to work on. Also, let us know if you would like feedback on presentation delivery. The consultant will start by asking you about these things.
How long are appointments?
All appointments are 30 minutes in length. However, if you have a special circumstance that would require more tutoring time, such as for a needed accommodation or GRE preparation, please call or email us for an exception.聽Please note that if you schedule an hour long appointment without first receiving approval, that appointment will be changed to 30 minutes.
How are tutors trained?
The CWC tutors go through a rigorous application and training process.聽 To be considered for the position, they must maintain a GPA of 3.25 or higher.聽 They then submit their own work for review and complete an application which requires them to assess sample student writing and a presentation.聽 After that, they complete a semester-long practicum training course during which they train on the job in the CWC.
