WELCOME TO THE UMES UNIVERSITY WRITING CENTER!
We serve UMES undergraduates across the disciplines.
We are tutoring online for the rest of the Spring 2020 semester!
To access the My Writing Center Online site, log in through the UMES portal; the Writing Center is the last app there.
Director: Dr. Terry Kundell, tlkundell@umes.edu
Assistant Director: Ms. Jessie Clatterbuck, jpclatterbuck@umes.edu
For the second half of Spring 2020, we are offering online tutoring. For online tutoring, make an appointment through the regular schedule and remember to upload your assignment and your document as a Word attachment before noon on the day of your appointment. You will receive a response by 10pm. If you want a synchronous appointment for brainstorming, email Jessie (jpclatterbuck@umes.edu), and she will arrange a session using Google chat, Facetime, phone, or another type of synchronous communication. The University Writing Center is dedicated to providing the University community one-on-one assistance with all types of writing at all stages of the writing process.
NOTE: The Writing Center tutors will help you and provide you with skills to do your own writing, revising, and editing, but they should not and will not write, revise, or edit for you.
The University Writing Center is staffed by a half-time Director, who has a Ph.D. in Rhetoric and Linguistics, an Assistant Director, who is one class from completing her English degree, and part-time peer tutors from various majors, who are selected based on their
strong writing and interpersonal skills and trained to assist students with writing issues across the disciplines.
With our online scheduling program, My Writing Center Online, you can check availability and schedule appointments in advance. Just log in through My UMES, and select the Writing Center icon.
You can cancel or change appointments online up to 1/2 hour before the appointment time. If you miss 2 scheduled appointments, you will be blocked from the online scheduling system and will have to contact Dr. Kundell to discuss the issue.
