NEW Asynchronous Feedback with Write-A-Bull

What is Write-a-Bull?

  • The Writing Studio is happy to announce that we are launching a new writing feedback program: the Write-a-Bull Feedback Program, where Write-a-Bull makes your work readable! This asynchronous tutoring program is geared toward semester or year long projects, as well as polishing final drafts, but is available at any stage of the writing process. For those interested in having assignments reviewed face-to-face with a tutor, please contact the Writing Studio for in-person and virtual synchronous appointments. 

How Does Write-a-Bull Work?

  • To ensure timely review, please submit your work as a Word document of no more than 5 pages (double-spaced) at any given time. If a document is longer than five pages, only the first 5 pages will be reviewed. If you would like to have more than 5 pages reviewed, please submit multiple forms (i.e., for a 10-page paper, please submit two forms: one for pages 1-5 and one for pages 6-10).
  • Feedback will be provided as comments made to documents. Tutors will not be making changes directly to the uploaded document. 

How to Request Feedback?

  • All students who would like to try out this asynchronous feedback program should fill out this request form: Write-a-Bull Request.

in-person and Online appointments

  • During your session, you will have 50 minutes to collaborate with a writing consultant, who will ask you questions about your writing goals and concerns.
  • Please keep in mind that consultations are interactive and collaborative, so come prepared to work actively on your writing.
    • If your session is online, please note that Teams allows for file sharing, audio/visual sharing, screen sharing, collaborative writing, and chat features.
  • We encourage you to take notes during your session and/or save any changes you make at the end. 

How to Join an Online Appointment?

  • You will join the appointment through your Accudemia Home Page. 
  • Under "Upcoming Appointments," select the "Join" button on your appointment. It will redirect you to Teams.
  • Note: you are able to log in 10 minutes early to ensure that your devices are working properly, including the screensharing feature.

Technical Difficulties?

If you experience technical difficulties before or during your session, please email writingstudio@usf.edu for assistance. We will do our best to help you and communicate with your consultant. If you continue to experience technical difficulties, we may encourage you to contact USF IT for assistance. 

In-person appointments take place in the Writing Studio, LIB 233 on the second floor of the Tampa campus Libray.
