Email Exchange

Email exchange sessions are an opportunity to receive written feedback on drafts of up to 2,500 words. Students email their drafts to us, sharing specific questions (e.g., about whether the paper addressed the prompt or used outside sources appropriately) so that we can supply tailored feedback. We supply this feedback asynchronously, within 48 hours of the appointment time. Students can then review our comments and suggestions independently at their own pace. 

Students can book up to two appointments per week, choosing between email exchanges and online chats or opting for a combination of both, in whatever way best suits their needs and schedules.
