I work with students exclusively online via one-on-one conferences in Zoom.
Students should contact me at lindstromfredg@gmail.com to schedule a meeting with me.
At that time, they can also share:
- a copy of their assignment
- a picture, screen capture, or PDF of any notes, outlines, or drafts
- a copy of what they have written so far in Google Docs format
Students should also state their goals for the session. For example:
- I Need Help Developing
- a thesis statement
- an outline or structure
- an engaging, clearly written, and concise introduction that informs the reader of the subject, purpose, and scope of the project
- body paragraphs that feature relevant and documented evidence
- a memorable conclusion that answers the question “So what?”
- I Need Help Revising
- to improve the sound and clarity of sentences
- to make the order and progression of sentences more logical
- to improve transitions between ideas and guide the reader through my thought process or argument
- to improve the diction, voice, and flow of the project
- I Need Help Editing
- to eliminate sentence-level grammatical and spelling errors
- to meet formatting expectations for the project (MLA, APA style)
- to ensure that all quotations and sources are embedded, formatted, and cited correctly
If I have this information early, we can begin each session prepared to get things done!
