The Coaching Session at a Glance:
Writing Center staff believe they will better assist you as "coaches" than as proofreaders or editors of your work. In your session, a coach will:

• Ask questions about the assignment and your pape;.
• Read your paper;
• Comment on global issues (focus, development, organization, logic, clarity);
• Help you determine where you might tighten and polish your prose;
• Discuss documentation and citation conventions;
• Point out patterns of mechanical and grammatical problems and provide suggestions on how you can learn to recognize and correct them.
