The Benefits of an Online Consultation

On a snowy, icy, cold, generally unpleasant day such as today, all you really want to do is stay in. However, your academic life will not accommodate such a break (well-advised  or not!). You know you have a draft due soon, and you feel proud of yourself for starting your research and writing a bit earlier than usual. However, now you have hit the metaphorical wall.

You frantically ask yourself...

Am I done yet?
Did I finish my argument?
How do I finish my paper?
Did I remember to cite my sources properly?
Does my paper even make sense?

You remember the IPFW Writing Center offers appointments, where a helpful writing consultant will work with you to answer your writing related concerns, but that's all the way on campus.
What can you do?

The answer is simple: you can use the IPFW Writing Center's Online Consulting Services! If the paper isn't due for another few days and you would like the feedback of a Writing Center consultant on your draft, we can help you!

Online consultations are conducted via email using the Microsoft Word comment feature. Drafts are accepted at all stages of the writing process - we can work with introductions, conclusions, thesis statements, citation, grammatical and punctuation concerns, flow, organization, the list goes on and on!

To submit your paper for an online consultation, simply follow the instructions located on our website, send off the email, and in 24-72 hours, you will receive your paper back with comments from an IPFW Writing Center consultant. Voila! A no-drive writing consultation!
