2022/09/166, Writing Services, Huron University CollegeUniversityhttps://huronuc.ca/student-life-campus/student-services/writing-servicesStudents: You can book up to two hours per week of tutor appointments.What we will not do: Proofread/copy-edit: the goal of a session is not to find and fix every error while the student sits passively. Instead, we work strategically and collaboratively to highlight areas of strength and potential concerns and provide strategies and solutions for improving written communication over time. Work from a computer screen: writing centre sessions are most useful and productive when working from a hard copy. Unless a student requires their laptop for accessibility purposes, or because they are working on a multimedia/digital project, we prefer a hard copy in order to help most efficiently

2022/09/1612, Centre for Writing and Scholarly Communication, University of British ColumbiaUniversityhttps://writing.library.ubc.ca/Consultations run 30 minutes for undergraduate students and graduate students. Students can book 1 appointment per day, and 2 appointments per week.
For two reasons, Consultations are limited to 30 minutes, once a day, twice a week. The first reason relates to accessibility. There are many students at UBC and they all deserve equal opportunity to book a Consultation. The second reason is pedagogical. Sessions of longer than 30 minutes risk providing a greater amount of feedback than can be feasibly absorbed and incorporated by a client; the same is true of more than one session a day or two a week. In terms of the revision process, our goal is to make your time with us as impactful as possible.		POLICY ON PROOFREADING NOT STATED

In all cases, YOU decide which changes to adopt, and how to implement those changes in your own draft.

2022/09/1619, Writing and Learning Services, MacEwan UniversityUniversityhttps://libguides.macewan.ca/WLS**Students can schedule up to two sessions per week.** Appointment Availability: Monday to Friday: 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM & 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM


We tend to avoid the p-word to describe what we do in the Writing Centre. To us, proofreading means going through your paper line-by-line and making all needed corrections to your grammar and punctuation. Tutoring, on the other hand, is where someone who is very skilled at writing works with you to identify some areas for improvement and set some learning goals. Then, they help you to build your skills in these areas so that you can make changes to your writing that reflect what you’ve learned.
