The UWC offers support for all UC Merced students on any type of writing. Our goal is to help students to develop their understanding of writing and the writing process; we do not evaluate or judge students work.
We offer support in multiple ways:
One-on-one Sessions
Bring any writing project and collaborate with a Writing Consultant on effective drafting and revision strategies tailored to your individual needs. We currently offer in person sessions and asynchronous session via eTutoring. Book your appointment here!
eTutoring Sessions
An eTutoring appointment allows you to upload a draft and have a writing consultant provide feedback on that draft via email. The document will also be saved in the appointment system, and you will be able to access it and read the feedback on any time. Book your appointment here!
Accountabilibuddy Sessions (Accountability + Buddy)
An Accountabilibuddy session is a session in which the writer is shadowed by a writing consultant while the writer works on their own writing, reading, or research. The consultant’s primary role is to hold the writer accountable for working on their project and provide motivational support. Appointments are available in-person. Book your appointment here!
Resources for Writers
We have noticed that writers who come in for appointments often ask similar questions about their writing, so we put together a list of some of those questions and our favorite resources for finding answers to them.
Events and Workshops
We can collaborate with any student group, club, or organization on events and workshops to support student writers. From resumes and cover letters to conference proposals and final research papers, we’re happy to facilitate workshops or offer consultant feedback at your event. Email us to get started!
