Further Instructions for Etutoring Appointments The Writing Center offers three types of tutoring appointments: face-to-face, etutoring, and live online appointments. An e-tutoring appointment is ideal for students with very busy schedules. This kind of online tutoring allows students to log into the tutoring schedule, select an appointment time, upload their draft and assignment prompt, and later download tutor comments and feedback that will help with revision and editing. Unlike the live online tutoring option, students need not be logged in at the same time as the tutor for etutoring appointments.

If students are making etutoring appointments in advance, and would like to come back later to upload documents, they can do so by clicking on the yellow folder icon in the upper left hand corner.

At the end of their scheduled session time, students can download tutor comments by logging back into the system and clicking on their appointment box. Toward the bottom of the appointment box, students will see the uploaded tutor comments. After their session, students will also receive an automatic email prompting them to fill out a brief, anonymous survey form. This student feedback is invaluable! Not only does the Writing
