The UMPI Learning Commons includes the Writing Center and Subject Area Tutoring. To access Subject Area contact Shawn Haskell at 768-9461 or shawn.haskell@maine.edu, or drop in to the CIL.
The Writing Center offers in-person and online appointments. Online appointments take two forms. "Online" tutoring is synchronous, allowing a real time a face-to-face conversation with a tutor. The second option, if the available appointments do not fit your schedule or if you do not have a web-cam, is "e-tutoring." An e-tutoring appoint also involves uploading your draft (with the assignment whenever possible), but instead of having a synchronous meeting the tutor will return the draft with comments and questions. In-person and "online" appointments are best, so that you can have a dialogue, but e-tutoring will do in a pinch. For those at a distance from UMPI, please keep in mind that all times listed in the schedule are in the Eastern Time Zone.
