Writing Assistance
We are pleased to offer writing assistance for students enrolled in GCNYC courses this term. Beginning September 8, students may request individual writing consultations with Christine Farrugia and are eligible for up to 3 hours of tutoring over the course of the term. Topics addressed will vary depending on each student’s needs. Examples of topics covered include:
- Planning and organizing your writing project
- Writing strategies
- Grammar and word usage
- Writing concisely
- Citation and attribution of sources
- The revision process
Please note that the purpose of writing consultations is to provide individualized feedback on your writing project in order to build on your strengths and address any weaknesses in your writing. Proofreading and copy-editing services are not provided.
While this is open to all students, priority will be given to those writing their thesis projects in the fall. To schedule a consultation, email Christine directly at christine.farrugia@gcu.ac.uk.
