Consultation Preparation

When visiting the Center for a consultation, please remember to bring:

  • pen, paper, or a flash drive;
  • your assignment sheet or syllabus;
  • notes, drafts, outlines, or ideas;
  • questions about the work;
  • and a positive attitude and outlook.

More preparation will result in a better consultation!

Consultants can and will address any questions, but if the client does not have a plan for the consultation, the consultants will tend to:

  • check to see if the client is following a useful writing process;
  • check and address Higher Order / Global Concerns;
  • check and address trends of errors in Lower Order / Local Concerns;
  • and check citation documentation.
