DOTAs are Directed Online Tutoring Assignments
Do you have a paper or DOTA that you would like to discuss with a tutor?
You can do it live through TechConnect Zoom or on site at room D-307.
Writing tutoring is provided by professional writing tutors and instructors. Usually there are at least 3 tutors/instructors in the Learning Center at any time to assist you with writing and reading assignments for any class and DOTAs (Directed Online Tutoring Activities) that might be assigned by your instructor. No appointment is necessary to meet with a writing tutor. When you are ready to discuss with tutor, go to the Canvas Learning Center home page and click on the Virtual Front Desk link. You will be taken to the Learning Center front desk and will meet with a tutor in a breakout room.
