E-Help On-line

 

 

Online Writing Help

E-Help is a writing assistance program that allows students to submit written assignments for review by an on-line tutor. Student submissions will be evaluated and returned within 36 hours Monday-Friday. All written submissions by students must be accompanied by a Help Request form describing the assignment. This form can be found on the ValleyCAT homepage under the campus tab.

This on-line writing assistance initiative has been extended to all current students enrolled in courses offered by CVCC through this ValleyCAT portal. Students will be able to submit first draft papers, as well as revisions, to an e-tutor for comments on grammar, sentence structure, usage, and organization. The e-help writing assistance program is not intended as an editing service. Students will be able to receive feedback about writing concerns that will help them to improve their personal writing skills. Typically, e-tutors are available Monday-Friday to review papers. Students should allow more than 36 hours for a response to papers submitted on weekends. For the best level of response by the e-tutor, all essential information related to the writing assignment should be included in the Help Request Form (click on Help Request Form). Students submitting papers with an excessive number of errors may be referred to the Writing Center.
