 Online Writing Center Tutoring Instructions |
|---|
| Please Note: On-line tutoring requires a computer with Internet access. The steps below make On-line Tutoring a fairly simple process. Follow this sheet carefully for best results. |
| Step 1: Write your draft that you want to submit for on-line tutoring |
|---|
- Type your paper as you normally would by using a word processing program. Microsoft Word is the recommended program since it has fewer problems with compatibility.
- When your paper is complete, make sure to run Spell Check!
- Click on Save As and save your document as a .doc or .rtf file and close your document. (Be sure to remember where you saved your document.)
|
| Step 2: Send your draft |
|---|
- Log-in to your San Bernardino Valley College student e-mail account.
Note: The On-line Tutoring service may not be compatible with some e-mail service providers, such as MSN.
- Click on New Message or Compose.
- Mail to address: wtutor@learnonline.sbccd.cc.ca.us
- In the Subject Line, type in your Full Name, Class Name and Section Number, as well as your school I.D. Number.
(Example: John Doe, English 101-01, 1957272)
- Move your cursor and click on the message box and type in the assignment that your paper is on and any information that you feel is important for the tutor to know, such as what the assignment is, what the teacher is going to focus on, or what the teacher wants to see in the paper.
- Next, send your essay as an attachment.
- Finally click Send
- Tutor response will come as a reply to your e-mail and will have the Sender Name, "writing tutor"
|
| Step 3: Tutor response |
|---|
- Read tutor response and follow the suggestions or comments accordingly.
Note: If you do not see a response to your submission in your Inbox, check your Spam or Junk Mail folder.
|
| Turn-Around-Time |
|---|
Online tutoring is conducted on a first come first served basis. Therefore, manage your time accordingly in order to get your paper back with enough time to make any needed revisions. Each paper will be given 45 minutes of tutoring assistance per submission.
Your paper will be read when the tutor is in session from Monday until Friday. If your paper is submitted after 4:00 P.M. on Friday, you should receive a response by Tuesday of the following week.
Although most papers are returned within 24 hours of submission, please allow up to 48 hours to receive your paper. If the situation arises in which you do not receive a reply after 48 hours, please resubmit your paper again.
|
| Appointment Verification |
|---|
Please keep in mind that if your instructor wants you to submit a Verification Slip to verify your tutoring session, you may print out your e-mail response given by your tutor as a verification slip.
