JUG 320: The Canadian Wilderness

Individual Writing Consultations

The University College Writing Workshop and JUG 320: The Canadian Wilderness have developed a joint initiative that allows JUG 320 students EXCLUSIVE access to a writing tutor from the University College Writing Workshop. Through either prearranged appointments or drop-in sessions, JUG 320 students can bring work associated with the essay proposal and research paper for The Canadian Wilderness to the University College Writing Workshop for review.

What We Do

We work with you to help you develop your capacity to plan, organize, write, and revise the essay proposal and research essay for JUG 320. That means we'll go over your written work intensively, at whatever stage you want to consult us. Even though we are happy to review your work, refine your ideas, and offer research strategies, please remember that course content and research are ultimately your responsibility. Here are some of the ways we can help you with the essay proposal and research paper:

• We ask about your assignment and discuss your plans with you, helping you understand your topic and clarify your ideas.

• We ask questions about your draft, because if you put your ideas into words, you'll more easily discover the right words to put on paper.

• We read your writing intensively. You can ask us to scan the whole paper to see if it's coherent, or we can go over one section in detail for style and effective reasoning.

• We demonstrate and teach skills in revising and proofreading.

• We point you to published material about writing. We also provide you with our own handouts, which answer common questions.
