You have two options for your appointment:

1.VIDEO MEETING

Google Meet Online appointment--you have a real-time online video/audio, audio, or text chat consultation with a peer writing consultant

Make an appointment on the schedule.
Before your appointment, create a Google Doc containing your writing and any relevant assignment details.
Share your Google Doc with the Peer Writing Consultant, giving them access as a "commenter."
Log back into WCOnline approximately 5 minutes before the start of the appointment
Open the appointment, scroll down to the "Google Meet Link" box and click the meeting link that will be shared by your consultant.
A peer writing consultant will join you for a video or text chat appointment in real-time over Google Meet.
Open your Google Doc in a window separate from the meeting and resize the windows so that you can view both your document and the writing consultant at the same time.

2.ASYNCHRONOUS WRITTEN FEEDBACK

eTutoring -- we provide written feedback on your writing project (fewer than 8 pages, please!) via email

Make an appointment on the virtual schedule - be sure to list your specific concerns.
Upload your assignment prompt (if applicable) and draft document(s) to WCOnline at the bottom of the appointment form. Be sure your share settings are set to anyone with the link. If your consultant can't open and view the document, they will cancel your appointment
Watch your email for notification that a peer consultant has responded to your paper. You can expect that your paper will be responded to by the end of the scheduled appointment time.

GENERAL NOTES:

All appointments begin on the hour and last 45 minutes.
If you are more than 5 minutes late for your online appointment, it will be dropped.
You may schedule one appointment per day.
Please be considerate of our consultants and your fellow students; if you cannot attend your appointment, please cancel it at least one hour before the scheduled start time.

We look forward to working with you! If you have questions or concerns, please email scwreceptionists@umich.edu.
