Online Writing Assistance

REQUEST FOR ONLINE WRITING CENTER ASSISTANCE

ONLINE TUTORIAL FEEDBACK IS OFFERED FOR STUDENTS WHO ARE ENROLLED EXCLUSIVELY IN BROOME COMMUNITY COLLEGE ONLINE COURSES.

  • You must request an online tutoring session at least 48 hours prior to the date that your assignment is due./li>
  • We will try to provide feedback in a timely manner; as a general rule, expect a response in 24 hours.
  • BCC writing tutors are trained and experienced in responding to writing, so they can help you with writing concerns such as organization, clarity, style, transitions, and other generic criteria for academic writing. While we will address sentence‐level concerns (if you request assistance), we will NOT edit or proofread your work. Instead, we can point to patterns of error in your writing and suggest ways for you to develop your editing skills.
