Writing Lab
AUP’s Writing Lab is open for spring term, 2021
Join us for online, live-video consultations
...every writer needs a reader! And whether we offer our services on-site or online (as will be the case for spring term 2021), AUP’s Writing Lab supports our student writers – undergraduate and graduate – across the disciplines and at all stages of the writing process by offering a fresh perspective, informed feedback and friendly conversation in a welcoming setting.
Collaboration between the tutor and the student writer is key to a session’s success and getting the student actively engaged in talking and thinking about their writing.
Each live video session is individually tailored, interactive and hands-on.
- Engage student writers in discussing their topics so that they can generate ideas, organize their thoughts, develop their focus, and hone their arguments
- Offer feedback on developing drafts of papers
- Encourage students to try out new strategies, take risks, experiment
- Offer guidance on research, using and citing sources, and avoiding plagiarism
- Help students find their own answers, their own voice, their pride of ownership of their work
Our Writing Lab live video consultations, via Teams or Google.docs are similar to in-person appointments. You and your tutor will share your screen so you both can view and work on your draft in real time.
- Once you and your tutor have agreed on the platform, day and hour (please specify any time difference with Paris), you can upload your work in a Google Doc and share it with aupwritinglabtutors
gmail.com. Please include the assignment’s instructions, writing prompts, and / or your draft. Your tutor will not read any documents until your appointments start time.
- All appointments are a maximum of 50 minutes (including a 5-minute buffer).
- Same day papers are highly discouraged.
Writing takes time. Writing takes practice. And writing in the university can be an anxious and isolating task, especially during Covid-19 and spending so much of your time inside and online. Why do it alone? Make an appointment today!
