This report objectively describes the work done during the conferencing session. Instructors generally like to receive these reports, which demonstrate that the students are serious about their assignment and want to produce the best document possible. Some instructors choose to share the report with the students who may include this feedback in their portfolios. Also, this report is helpful to instructors who require their students to conference in the Writing Center. In addition to tutoring services, The Writing Center offers workshops on a variety of topics.
Some workshops are campus wide and open to all students.
However, most often Writing Center workshops are designed, at the request of an instructor, for a specific class and assignment. The Writing Center provides limited service on-line. Writing Center staff responds by e-mail or phone, answering shorter, simpler questions and requesting the students to schedule appointments for longer, more complex questions or problems.
