Drop-in Tutoring

Murray Library room 142. Hours: http://www.usask.ca/ulc/writing/drop-in-tutoring 

  • Short consultations up to twice for a given writing sample
  • Confidential and free
  • No editing or proofreading

Online Tutoring

www.usask.ca/ulc/onlinewritinghelp

An email-based system for help up to twice for a given writing sample. This system is better than drop-in for discipline-specific help. It's confidential and free.

Note ** If you are willing to wait a bit longer than 24-48 hours, you can receive a fuller consultation from an English professor rather than a tutor.

Workshops

Graduate Writing Workshops are full already (they fill very quickly each year), but if you register, you will be put on a waiting list where you will have a good chance of making it in to the workshop eventually.  You can also show up on the day to see if there are spaces available in the room. Keep the slot open on your calendar. www.usask.ca/ulc/writing/workshops

Editors and/or Proofreaders

Contact Liv.Marken@usask.ca for a list of editors and/or proofreaders for hire.

Accommodations for Disability-Related Writing Challenges

  • If you suspect you have a disability (mental health, learning disability, physical disability/injury), get confirmation of it from a psychologist and/or a physician, and then apply for accommodations. Your professors and/or supervisors are required to comply.
  • If you have a disability, you can access accommodations http://students.usask.ca/current/disability/ 

Your professors and/or supervisor

  • Ask them for advice about writing in your discipline, including how he or she improved and what processes work for them.
  • Ask them to request a workshop for your class or program if you notice that other students are struggling, too: liv.marken@usask.ca
