General Information: Consultants assist students with all phases of the invention, writing, and revision process, but they do not proofread nor edit papers and do not have expertise in style and formatting guidelines. Consultants will help students identify repeating grammar errors and also will assist students in learning to better understand and use appropriate style guides. The UTA Writing Center has numerous resources on their website that students can access anytime, at http://www.uta.edu/owl/resources.html.
