Writing and Communication Services Syllabus Description

Wrtiting and Communication Services Information for Course Syllabuses and Writing and Communication Services Website

The Writing and Communication Services serves all members of the University of Memphis community (undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, and staff) as they work to become better writers and speakers. Consultants are trained in writing- and speech-tutor methodologies and can provide one-on-one feedback on any writing or speech in any stage of development. While the Writing and Communication Services welcomes the opportunity to assist in writing and speaking, it does not function as an editing service. The Writing and Communication Services is located on the first floor of the Ned R. McWherter Library. Appointments are strongly recommended, especially during midterms and finals. Visit memphis.mywconline.com to schedule an in-person appointment using your U of M login credentials. For virtual appointments, go to memphis.upswing.io, login with your U of M credentials, and search for “Writing” to find available consultants. If you have any problems with making an appointment or your MyWC account, please email casa-writecomm@memphis.edu or call 901-678-1694 for assistance. For technical assistance with online appointments, please contact Jamion McNeil (jgmcneil@memphis.edu or 901-678-3528), Student Success Resources Coordinator.  

Required Visits

As an instructor, if you require your students to visit WCS as part of their course grade or for extra credit, our verification process for student visits is to send the professor a copy of the session summary, which includes information about where in the writing/creative process the student was when they arrived at their appointment; what details were addressed during their appointment; and what recommendations they received for moving forward.

If you have any questions or require further assistance, please contact WCS director Dr. Meredith Boulden at mheath@memphis.edu.
