Undergraduate, Masters, and Doctoral Writing Support
The Office of Student Writing and Learning offers
customized, detailed feedback on course assignments, discussion posts,
proposal and dissertation chapter drafts, and just about any other
writing you do for The Chicago School. We focus on both higher-order (organization,
flow, logic, tone) and lower-order (grammar, mechanics, APA) concerns in
our reviews, and you have the opportunity to request that we prioritize our feedback to fit your needs.
Statistics Support
The Statistics Tutors provide statistical tutoring services for The Chicago School students who need extra help in calculating statistical data in SPSS, Microsoft Excel, or Microsoft Power Bi, such as variance, standard deviation, linear regression, and multiple linear regression. Charting, plotting, and analyzing data of average value (mean), most frequently occurring value (mode), mean, range, and median are also provided. Tutoring assignment services consist of calculating a mean, median, mode, and range of numbers or finding a missing number, finding probability distribution, finding z-scores, p-values, finding values of normal variables, distribution of samples for data and charting data for analysis, and interpretation.
TIPS FOR MAKING THE MOST OF OUR SERVICES
We recommend you schedule your appointment at
least 3 days prior to your assignment due date. We will provide feedback
within 48 hours of your scheduled appointment, and you want to allow at
least 1 day to incorporate our feedback, revise, and ask questions as
needed.
Complete your Appointment Form in full, providing as much detail as possible about your assignment and the type of help you are seeking.
- Attach your document (MS Word documents are preferred for ease of commenting/tracking) by 6:00 a.m. central time the day of your appointment.
- Make sure you are familiar with
MS Word track changes and comments features and how to
accept and reject changes.
Inform your tutor if you need
accommodations, particularly related to any multimedia feedback we might
provide (closed captioning, etc.).
Email
your APA and writing-related questions to
