Writing help submission process
Simply submit a project draft and a qualified tutor will assess your work and offer advice on ways to improve your project.
Contact the tutor if you have difficulty getting started, or want advice on constructing an outline.
- Write a project draft. Tutors do not replace writing instruction in your classes – they enhance and support it. Tutors will not write, edit or proofread assignments and will not ghostwrite essays or offer instruction in English as a second language.
- Use the following timelines when submitting:
- Submit your assignment by email at least 2-3 days (48-72 hours) before the due date.
- Assignments may be submitted on weekends but return times may be slower.
- Your assignment will be returned along with a tutor critique sheet. The critique sheet will provide comments about the following areas:
- What are the paper's strengths?
- Describe any weaknesses concerning the thesis or focus, voice or tone, organization, development, paragraphing etc.
- The tutor will suggest a strategy to improve on each weakness and offer additional comments to help you with your assignment.
Send a completed submission form along with your assignment to distance.writing@usask.ca. You will receive a response from a tutor confirming receipt of your assignment.
To discuss your assignment with the tutor email with the questions concerning your project.
