These sessions work best for short (1-3 page) documents or specific sections of a larger piece. They are also useful for specific questions (e.g., “Does this thesis make sense?” “Am I using APA in-text citation appropriately?” etc.). Coming with specific questions can help you make the most of your time! As with our appointment-based sessions, you don’t need to have anything written in advance.
We do not have strict limits on drop-in consultation attendance. However, if you have attended one or more drop-in sessions within an evening and/or five or more within a week, we may ask you to limit your number of drop-ins sessions during especially busy times, such as midterms and finals.
