Peer writing consultation - by students for students
Welcome to the website of the peer writing consultation service from the Kompetenzzentrum Schreiben! We support you at eye level in your academic writing and work.
Our consultation hours take place during the lecture period as well as during the lecture-free period.
Our counsultation services
Our consultation is action-orientated, person-orientated and process-orientated. You can come to us with any questions about academic work and writing. For example, we can support you in finding a topic, narrowing down your topic and research question, revising your outline, overcoming writer's block or expanding your texts. We can also give you constructive feedback on your texts. You should make sure that you submit your text to us at least three days in advance. The text should also be a maximum of three to four pages long.
Important: We offer our consultation in German and English. We also provide constructive feedback on English-language texts.
What we do not offer
Proofreading for spelling, grammar, citation conventions and comma placement.
For this you can use the Sprach- und Rechtschreibbüro (formerly Orthografiezentrum)
If German is a foreign or second language for you and you need to write in German, you are welcome to contact the team at the Writing and Learning Centre for International Students!
