BCSSW Graduate Assistant Writing Tutors are an added service available to members of the BCSSW community.
Tutors will provide feedback on:
Remember—tutors are NOT editors or proofreaders. They will give feedback about sentence structure, grammatical usage and APA style, but they will not make corrections. Each student is responsible for learning and using APA format appropriately. See below for additional resources.
Writing Tutor Contact: swwritingtutors@bc.
Availability: SW Writing Tutors are primarily available via email Tuesday through Sunday during the academic year.
Student to email: 5 pages of assignment to be reviewed in a word or google doc, the rubric, due date and assignment.
All attempts will be made to turnaround the paper within 48 hours. Please plan accordingly as the turnaround time could be longer during the midterms and finals. It is advised to reference the 5 double spaced pages you would like to be reviewed when you submit the paper as the review is limited to 5 pages of one paper. Include the rubric, due date, assignment and what you would like the tutor to focus on when reviewing the paper. Multiple submissions of the same paper will not be reviewed in fairness to all students requesting assistance. Each student is responsible for using the same principles used during the edit to then self-review the remaining pages of the submitted paper. To submit papers electronically with a Word doc or Google doc please send a message to swwritingtutors@bc.edu.
This is a free voluntary service created to assist the students at BCSSW. Final outcome of the grade is dependent on the student's own efforts to meet the requirements of the assignment. All BCSSW students are welcome to seek professional writing services outside of the University.
