- A copy of the assignment, the syllabus, a rubric, or directions that communicate the instructor’s expectations.

Suggestions for a Successful Session
- Make sure you leave enough time between your appointment and the due date to fully incorporate your peers’ suggestions and to schedule follow-up appointments.
- Avoid plagiarism; familiarize yourself with the resources at the Center on plagiarism.
- Don’t be a passive learner; participate, ask questions, and discuss your writing with your peers.
