Writing
Beginning Monday, March 23, 2020, the Writing Commons will be offering digital feedback to students through WConline, our online tutor scheduling platform. Penn State Altoona students will be able to submit essays, assignment sheets/rubrics, and post questions for tutors. After submitting their materials through WConline, students will receive holistic feedback within approximately 24 hours that focuses on three issues: how their essay meets the expectations of the assignment, structural/organizational feedback, and suggestions for patterns of grammatical/mechanical errors.
To submit materials:
- Open a web browser and navigate to Penn State Altoona's online scheduling site.
- Select the "Writing - Remote Sessions 3/23 to 4/3" schedule and log in. If this is your first time using WConline, please register using your Penn State email address only (i.e., abd1234@psu.edu). You will only need to register once. Simply log on for future scheduling.
- Click on a white square next to today's date.
- Fill out the appointment form and attach any relevant documents.
- You will be contacted by a Writing Consultant within approximately 24 hours.
About the Learning Resources Center
Penn State Altoona's Learning Resources Center (LRC) helps students to be successful in learning. All services are free to Penn State Altoona students. The LRC is located on the first floor of the Eiche Library. Tutoring is handled primarily by professional tutors or by instructors from the discipline. In some subjects, peer tutoring is also available. Peer tutors are students who have aced the class you are seeking help with and have received tutor training.
Please remember that tutoring is not intended to replace your class, but to add more detail to what you have learned in class or during your instructor’s office hours.
To access these free services:
- Choose the schedule for your course from the menu.
- Show up at the place and time designated for your course.
- Start asking questions, and pay attention to the questions of others.
For many courses, there is a designated table where you can find help at almost any time on weekdays.
