0.2sAdvisorHi, what can I help you with?
2.0sStudentI have a writing-center appointment tomorrow about my history paper, but my draft is still only a couple of pages. I was thinking I should cancel and wait until next week.
11.0sAdvisorBefore you do that, what's giving you trouble?
13.8sStudentThe sources don't quite agree about why the strike ended, and I'm not sure how to organize the disagreement without turning the paper into a list of summaries.
21.5sAdvisorThat's actually a good reason to keep the appointment. Bring the pages you have and a one-page outline showing where each source fits. The consultant can help you test the structure before you write the rest.
34.3sStudentEven if the draft isn't complete?
35.3sAdvisorAbsolutely. In fact, changing the structure is easier now than after you've written ten pages. If you still need another meeting afterward, you can book a follow-up.
43.6sStudentOkay, I'll keep tomorrow's slot and make the outline tonight.
