General feedback or answers to specific questions provided within 48 hours
Submit a draft at any level of completeness to writingcenter@cccti.edu. Include the instructor, course, and as much detail about the assignment—such as due date and required length—as possible. Attaching a copy of the assignment prompt is very helpful. It is also OK to just email in a question about an assignment.
Submissions will be reviewed and responded to with advice about the current state of the assignment and directions to work moving forwards within 48 business hours.
Note: this is not a proofreading service. Papers with significant grammar or formatting issues will have this pointed out with examples in the response, but they will not be corrected. In these cases, Virtual or Mask-to-Mask tutoring is recommended.
The library staff will field questions about writing assignments.
