Kairos: An Anthology of Student Writing
Writing Center
Yes! The Writing Center is still open! During the coronovirus shutdown on campus, we will still be here to help you with any writing project, from any class.
We offer support for both undergraduate and graduate students, for every Moody campus.
We offer two kinds of online appointments:
Video appointments
These work just like our regular, on-campus appointments, except that you can meet with your tutor from the convenience of your own home. First, download the Zoom software, Then, sign up for a free account. It takes just 5 minutes, and many Moody courses are already using Zoom.
Then, sign up for a video appointment on our website. When it is almost time for the appointment to begin, your tutor will email you a link to the video chat at the email address you provided. Click on the link, and the chat will begin.
You will have up to an hour to ask questions about your paper.
Remember, for a video chat, you don't need to have a finished draft yet. You can send a partial draft, or you can ask for help getting started. Video chats are also a great option if you need to discuss grammar, clarity, or word choice. Why not click on the link above to try one today?
Email appointments
You can also ask for feedback by email. This option requires that you already have at least a partial draft, but nothing could be more convenient. Just sign up for an email appointment, let us know your questions, and your tutor will reply with suggestions for improving your paper.
Every writer needs a reader . . .
The Writing Center is the "go-to" place for anyone who wants to become a stronger writer.
Whether you are working on your first paper or your last, we can help. We offer free writing help for students at MBI Chicago (undergraduate), MTS Chicago (graduate), and Moody Distance Learning.
Here is what you can do at the Writing Center:
How do I make an appointment?
Writing Center
We offer online appointments Monday through Friday.
For undergraduate students (MBI Chicago, Moody Online, and Spokane)
Video appointments
Email appointments
For graduate students (MTS Chicago, MTS Michigan, and all Master's level online courses)
Video appointments work just like a face-to-face appointment, but on your computer or phone. This is an especially good choice when you are just getting started, have a lot of questions, or want to just to talk with someone about your project.
Email appointments are best when you already have a full draft and you have just a few, straightforward questions.
