Instead of providing a proofreading service, we offer tutoring sessions that assist students in learning to proofread their own work, in getting projects started, and in developing the writing process for a paper.<\/p>\n<p>The Writing Center offers 45-minute appointments with graduate student tutors who work with individual students or with groups. Most tutoring sessions are by appointment; walk-in appointments are provided when tutors are not in a scheduled session. For distance students, we use WCOnline for online appointments. Students have the option of making standing appointments with tutors once per week for up to four weeks at a time. In addition to tutoring services for undergraduate and graduate students, we will visit classrooms to provide writing lessons and group tutorials.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for visiting the Writing Center at ODU.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Megan Boeshart<br \/>\nDirector<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/header>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mission Statement The Writing Center (WC) provides free individual tutorials to undergraduates and graduates working on writing projects for any course; WC tutors are not editors or proofreaders, but they &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/writingcenter\/2018\/08\/30\/hello-world\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Welcome to the ODU Writing Center<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10964,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","wds_primary_category":0},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/writingcenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/writingcenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/writingcenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/writingcenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10964"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/writingcenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/writingcenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":118,"href":"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/writingcenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1\/revisions\/118"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/writingcenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/writingcenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/writingcenter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
