The Shackouls Technical Communication Program is providing writing tutoring for engineering students for the spring semester. Students can work with the tutors in three ways:

1. Email documents to bcoewritingtutors@gmail.com for review.
2. Visit the tutors’ office in McCain 202 for an in-person meeting during the office hours listed below (appointments not required).
3. If students prefer to meet virtually, they may email the tutors to arrange a videoconference during the office hours below.

Tutors: Oliver Coleman and Jolee Rushing
Office: McCain 202
Email: bcoewritingtutors@gmail.com
M: 3:30–5:30 p.m.
W: 1:00–5:30 p.m.
TR: 12:00–5:00 p.m.

The tutors are ready to help students with all writing-related issues, from routine writing assignments in any of their classes to senior-design reports and job-application materials. Documents are reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis. The tutors will only read submissions during their office hours, so students should keep this in mind when contacting them. Generally, students should allow at least one day for each document to be reviewed and returned. Please note that the writing tutors do not proofread or edit documents; the goal is to help students identify and correct problems in their own writing.

For graduate students who would like help with longer documents such as theses, dissertations, and manuscripts, the tutors can provide broad guidance about recognizing error patterns and developing strategies for correcting them. However, they will not be able to offer a professional editing service. Additionally, there is a hard 20-page limit on submissions. If the document exceeds 20 pages, we ask that it be broken up into 20-page increments. They will review the first 20 pages and return those, and then students may send the next 20 pages.

The BCoE Writing Tutors look forward to hearing from you!
