The new system includes several benefits that include the ability to
- search for open paper review appointments through a more organized, user-friendly interface;
- join a waiting list for open appointments;
- access the schedule via most mobile devices;
- attach your paper and provide review preferences within a single system;
- access past reviews;
- include or attach assignment instructions;
- articulate your place in the writing process and your goals for the review; and
- view bios of each writing instructor to gauge their specialties and interests.
While this new tool has so much more to offer, it does require that
students learn to navigate a different system. Change can be tough, so we have created some fantastic resources to
guide you. First, check out the Paper Reviews page
on our website to read about how to make appointments, attach a paper, sign up
for the waiting list, and so on. Next,
check out the video tutorials we created. You can put up
your feet and watch all of the video snippets at once, or you can click through
the playlist to find specific videos. Finally, register in myPASS and try it out for yourself! The link to the myPASS schedule is
conveniently located in your myWalden portal (Click on the Academics tab, look under Research
& Resources, click on the Schedule
an Appointment link, and under Writing
Center, click the myPASS
link). Be sure to visit the WritingCenter Policies
page as well. Because we have a new
schedule with new features, we have had to adjust some of our policies. One of our favorite policy changes is that with myPASS, you will be able to schedule
one appointment per week, see appointment openings, and have more than one
appointment scheduled at a time.
Well, that should do it. And of
course, we appreciate any and all feedback you can provide us with at writingsupport@waldenu.edu or here in the blog comments. We’d love to hear from you
as we continue to refine and improve our services. Happy writing!
