Individual Conferences
Appointments are available two days per week during the academic year. An instructor will meet with you for a 45-minute consultation to discuss any aspect of your academic work including:
- Essay writing - bring in a draft of a work in progress and we will provide detailed commentary your essay, teaching you how to become an independent editor of your own work and indicating your strengths and weaknesses
- Essay topics - bring in essay topics and we will discuss narrowing the topic, finding a thesis, and establishing a direction for research or discussion
- Lab writing – bring a work in progress and we will discuss strategies for organization, independent editing, and research and analysis
- Time management and study skills
- Critical reading and thinking
- Seminar presentations
- Exam and test preparation
You may schedule up to eight appointments each term; this allows an instructor to work closely with you on an ongoing basis.
To make an appointment or for further information, visit Trent U Oshawa at the Thornton Road Campus or call (905) 435- 5100.
Online Appointments
Oshawa students are invited to submit written work online. You can submit a draft of your writing at any stage of the process and an instructor will answer your questions and offer comments. Online appointments complement one-on-one sessions to make our services more available.
Our goal is a 72 hour turnaround (excluding weekends)
Please include the due date of the assignment
ASC will only reply to Trent email addresses
Important Considerations:
- Manage your time carefully: you will need time to read and apply suggestions before handing the assignment in.
- Our goal is to help you improve the skills you need to independently edit and proofread your work.
- Help early on can be more effective than at the draft stage.
- Our instructors will answer your questions or offer suggestions on any of the following: structure, organization, argumentation, clear writing (grammar, style, spelling), documentation, referencing, narrowing a topic and thesis statements.
