What is part of consulting - and what is not?
Consulting must not affect your test performance. Thus, there are several offerings missing from consulting:
Part of consulting | Not part of consulting |
---|---|
Giving advice in the writing process, when having trouble or being uncertain in certain topics (see aforementioned section on topics). | Giving advice concerning the contents |
Feedback on page layout | Doing layout formatting in Microsoft Word for you |
Text feedback on individual text passages | Text feedback on the complete paper (not step-by-step over several sessions, either) |
Showing exemplary mistakes | Searching your whole paper for all mistakes |
Looking at the paper in your presence and giving advice on how to fix problems. | Doing the work for you, neither in your presence nor in your absence |
Individual advice on using citation software | Programming a new citation style: This takes far more time and testing. Please send citation style request via mail to the library. We will create the style within two weeks or will inform you otherwise. |
