Request for Feedback on a Draft
Policies, Guidelines, and Information
- This service is for undergraduate WSU students only. Graduate students who submit their work will be rerouted to the GWC and invited to make an appointment with a graduate writing consultant.
- WSU undergrads are invited to use this service up to three times per semester. The limit exists in response to our own resources and to encourage students to have in-person conversations about their writing.
- Students can typically expect feedback within approximately 48 hours; requests submitted between Friday and Sunday will receive feedback by the end of Tuesday.
- Written feedback will consist of margin comments, resources to explore, and overall suggestions for revision or development. Consultants will never make changes to the draft itself.
- If you are required to visit the Writing Center, you need to use the in-person (walk-in or appointment) service, unless you’ve discussed this alternative with your professor.
- This service, like all those offered by the WSU Writing Center, is intended to offer support, suggestions, and resources to writers. This service, like all others in our program, does not guarantee “good” grades or set out to “fix” papers. Writing consultants are trained to ask questions and provide feedback that the writer can use as they compose, revise, and ultimately finalize their own work.
Alternative support: eTutoringOnline.org.
All WSU students are invited and allowed to use eTutoring for support on their writing. The eTutoring platform has two types of support: live chats with writing tutors and written feedback on drafts.
