FAQs
Coaches offer feedback and advice on written and oral assignments and communication tasks. They do NOT provide an editing or proofreading service, and they do NOT comment on technical content.
Please come prepared to participate actively in a discussion about your assignment.
You can make a booking for a one-on-one consultation, or for a pair or group consultation.
Each slot is meant for ONE assignment (in the case of written assignments, a single text), unless the assignment is very short. If you come in a pair or group, there should still be only ONE written text, not two or more individual texts for the same assignment.

At least one hard copy of your document (if you have not submitted a soft copy by 9 p.m. the night before) or a USB drive for a presentation;
