or proofread my paper for me? No.

you in specific problematic issues seen in your writing. But they

may have one thirty- minute appointment per day with the writing tutor.

be confidential? Yes.Your

consultation form sent to your teacher. Students are responsible for
knowing which assignments are not appropriate for receiving tutor
assistance (such as take home exams). |
| |
| Should I bring anything
to the tutorial? It
is often helpful to bring your assignment and
textbook to the tutorial as well as a
3-1/2" HD disk if you want
to use the computer. Bring any notes, ideas, outlines and rough drafts
that you have already generated. Also, think about what you want from
the tutorial, and tell the tutor what you want to work on. |

anything to the tutorial? No.
If you just want to talk to the tutor about getting started with a
paper, or about handling your reading and writing assignment, that
is fine. |

are often available. Call (281) 618-5445 or come by Academic 200 to
