Writing Center
Writing Center tutors are utilizing real-time online tutoring. Sessions are conducted through Google Docs; this way, students and tutors can make changes to the paper together. Simultaneous Zoom calls are also recommended as a way to increase productivity during appointments.
Appointments can be used to:
- Generate ideas/brainstorm
- Organize information
- Restructure papers
- Assist on integration of source material
The Writing Center does NOT edit/proofread. If the student's concern is grammar, a tutor may review key issues within the paper and explain how to fix them, but tutors will not go through a paper and correct every grammatical issue.
Students can schedule appointments via email at iunwc@iu.edu or phone at (219) 980-6502 and must send in a copy of their paper, their assignment guidelines, and a non-IU Gmail account. If you encounter any difficulties gaining access to a writing tutor, contact Dr. Erin Schaefer at erischae@iu.edu.
