Our appointments are available to all students at OU. One-on-one consultations are a great way to ask questions about and get help with concerns you have about your own individual writing. Whether you're working on a paper for a general education course, like First-Year Composition or History, or writing a capstone paper for a senior seminar, consultations are a great way to get feedback as you write.
We expect all students to be aware of the level of help, if any, they may receive on a given assignment. If you are unsure of whether or not you should be receiving help on a project, exam, or essay, ask your instructor.
Extended Read Appointments are remote, asynchronous consultations available for projects that require more time than a traditional 25- or 45-minute appointment. These consultations are especially useful when you have specific questions or concerns about the piece of writing that the consultant can answer in writing.
