One-on-One Reviews

For one-on-one reviews, we can review one document per appointment; we will spend approximately 30 minutes per submission and therefore, we rarely can read through an entire draft (although the majority of our comments will be applicable to the remainder of the draft).  Your are eligible for an unlimited number of reviews so long as you are adhering to the best use policies in the following section. For doctoral students, although only the proposal chapters or sections are reviewed in one-on-one appointments, you may send questions about the final chapters or section to editor@waldenu.edu, and expect a response within 24 hours.  You may also want to attend a webinar offered on writing the results and conclusion chapters or sections, or watch an archived version of those webinars.

To make the most of each of each appointment, you must be able to apply our feedback from one draft to the next. Our goal is not to fix your papers but to help you develop your skills. If students are not applying feedback from one review to the next, no matter what we've reviewed (i.e., different papers or the same section of a paper), we reserve the right to return the paper without a review. Please also submit papers free from any comments from an instructor or chair. Please incorporate past comments and feedback on a draft (whether from an instructor or from the Writing Center) before submission.

We may also request students choose another staff member to work with to ensure that they are receiving feedback that best suits their learning style.

Questions can be directed to writingsupport@waldenu.edu. More direct questions about APA style in the results and conclusion chapters/sections (e.g., tables and figures or formatting participant interviews) should be directed to editor@waldenu.edu.

If you are interested in assistance beyond the scope of the Writing Center, here are some tips for hiring an outside editor.
