In-Person/Zoom and Online Appointments
During the Spring/Summer 2020 session, “in person" appointments will be offered remotely via Zoom. These appointments are appropriate for support with math and statistics, organizational and study skills, or planning and strategizing with regard to assignments and papers. If you have completed a draft and would like written feedback on grammar, style, and structure, please book an “online” appointment and follow the instructions to submit your work.
For math and statistics support please contact Darren Nesbitt at darrennnesbitt@trentu.ca to make an appointment. For all other Academic Skills support, including help with organizational and study skills, planning and strategizing for written assignments, or feedback on completed drafts, please use our online booking system at ccr.trentu.ca to make an appointment with Pamela MacIsaac.
