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.
