Concordia students come to the 写作工作室 because they know it’s a good idea to talk about their writing and get some feedback. 作家 bring in all kinds of writing assignments from courses across the curriculum—social science, 业务, 教育, 沟通, 英语, 还有更多.

You can drop by the 写作工作室 without an appointment, 然而, we recommend you make one to ensure that a consultant is available to work with you.

The 写作工作室 is located on the main floor of the 图书馆. Sessions may be available for walk-ins, but please know that we are often booked so scheduling an appointment online is best. To make an appointment, follow the directions on our website under 预约.

Appointments are usually 30 to 45 minutes. Bring your questions and a draft if you have one. Your writing consultant will want to read the specific assignment so be sure to bring that with you as well. The consultant will then ask you what you’d like help with. After reading the paper together, the two of you will begin discussing it. The writing consultant will respond as a critical reader to what you’ve written, pointing out sections that work well and places with problems. You’ll learn strategies to improve those areas that need strengthening.

Writing consultants focus on the big concerns first. 例如, they’ll check to make sure you’re following the assignment guidelines, that your thesis is clear and that your paper is developed logically. After that, they can help you with concerns about style, grammar, word choice, etc.

At times, you may need help getting started. 这很好. Just remember to bring in your assignment sheet, extr一篇论文 for writing notes and ideas, and a clear sense of what you want to work on. It will be important for you to tell the consultant what you’d like to focus on during your session.

We don’t proofread 一篇论文 for you. That would help us become great editors, but it wouldn’t make you a better writer. We’ll work with you so that you will become a better proofreader of your own work.

The purpose of the 写作工作室 is to help you become a stronger, more confident writer. Because writing improvement takes time, we can't promise that you will receive an "A" on your assignment, but we can promise that with practice you will become a better writer.

In addition to our friendly writing consultants, the 写作工作室 has handouts and handbooks to cover all your writing needs.

The 写作工作室 staff respects your confidentiality and will not discuss your writing outside of the 写作工作室. A report about your session will be sent to your instructor only at your request.

简短的回答是:是的.

The longer answer: It’s your responsibility to let the writing consultant know when and how you have used AI tools and to bring an assignment sheet or syllabus which clearly states the instructor’s policy. Writing consultants will always honor the professor’s assignment sheet and/or syllabus guidelines. In instances when AI tools have been used to create work for an assignment that does not allow the use of those tools, the writing consultant will remind you that AI generated work in this case may be a violation of the Honor Code and of the professor’s assignment guidelines.

当允许, writing consultants may use AI tools during a session in these ways: 1) to gather specific information on a topic, 2)对一个话题进行头脑风暴, 3)对引文进行格式化, 4)概述思想, 修改提纲, 重述一个想法, 7) to help with specific language issues.

The 写作工作室 does not promote the use of AI tools to create whole works or full paragraphs of text.
