Graduate Writing Groups are month-long groups to help graduate students create and achieve their writing goals. Currently, groups meet online. Participants will commit to the following:
- Attend a planning session of about 1.5 hours to refine the month’s writing goals
- Meet with a graduate tutor once during the month to discuss writing and/or writing process
- Participate in at least one Writing Efficiency Session each week
- Attend a weekly one-hour group meeting to discuss the previous week’s achievements and the subsequent week’s goals
