We offer both in-person and online synchronous one-on-one appointments that last for 50 minutes. Our one-on-one sessions can be booked for individual as well as group sessions. Please select your preferred mode of consultation when booking an appointment. Hours listed as online only are conducted via Zoom or Microsoft Teams. Once you have booked your appointment, you’ll receive a notification email with details of your appointment. You can register for an account at any time if you are a first timer.

Writing is a multifaceted intellectual process that involves serious thinking, planning, drafting, reviewing, and revising. Your active involvement in a consultation is therefore crucial to growing as a writer while producing high-quality work. When you come to your consultation session, keep in mind that:

• Your WCM assignments/projects need time, so plan ahead of time and schedule an appointment with your consultant early on in the writing process.
• Your WCM assignments/projects involve multiple drafts, so be ready to book multiple sessions.
• Your WCM assignments/projects involve different stages of learning, so be prepared to actively ask questions and engage. Remember, your WCM consultants are here to support you but not to do the work for you.

• Help you brainstorm and shape your ideas according to your assignment rubrics.
• Offer constructive feedback on content (tone and language), structure, organization, and flow of ideas in your writing.
• Guide you on citations and references as outlined in the assignment rubric.
• Provide technical support for presentation slides, posters, and e-portfolios.
• Share practical tools and tips for writing, communication, and multimedia assignments.
