How to book an appointment on the Bloemfontein Campus
What are the benefits of booking a consultation with the Write Site?The Write Site assists students with specific assignments that form part of their undergraduate courses. We focus on argumentation, organisation/structure and language, amongst others, and do not edit students’ work. The sessions are collaborative because consultants guide students through identifying and correcting their mistakes, while making suggestions on how to improve their text and their academic writing overall.
You are welcome to come as often as you like – it is a free service and we are happy to assist you.
