Write-On
Write-On is an online tutoring platform staffed by the undergraduate writing fellows for SAS and Hajim graduate and undergraduate students, faculty, and staff. Upload a paper and receive detailed feedback about your questions and concerns within 48 hours. This service is tailored to students who can articulate clear questions about, and goals for, their writing.
Guidelines for uploading:
- Submissions are limited to eight pages that can stand alone.
- If a submission is longer than eight pages, the tutor will read and respond to the first eight pages only.
- If you break a longer paper into shorter submissions, please ensure that the excerpted text can be understood independently from the larger paper; we strongly recommend an in-person session for long papers.
- Tutors cannot provide feedback on take-home exams unless they are able to see explicit consent from your instructor attached with the submission.
If you feel that Write-On does not suit your needs, but still want feedback, try scheduling an online tutoring session!
Our Center is funded to serve students in the College. For this reason, only students, faculty, and staff from SAS and HSEAS are able to submit to Write-On. We are happy to support writers synchronously from other areas across the University when we have open and available appointments.
