Whether in-person or online, view your writing associate session as a conversation: be ready to take an active role in your appointment and to answer questions the writing associate has so that your ideas and your voice comes through in your paper. Taking an active role in your session will help you become an independent writer, capable of self-revising and editing future papers on your own.
