How to Use the HWC During the Covid-19 Campus Closure

The HWC tutors are available to help you with your History papers during the campus closure.
Here’s how to get their help:

  1. Send a copy of your paper to the HWC email address at HWC@csuchico.edu :
    1. You may send it as an attachment in .doc, or .pdf format; 
    2. Or you may send a Google Drive link to your paper. If you send a link, be sure to give the HWC permission to edit your paper or they will not be able to help you.
  2. The HWC tutors require a minimum of 48 hours, not counting weekends and holidays, to get back to you with their feedback. If you are facing a deadline, be sure to get your paper to the HWC as far in advance of your deadline as possible. The HWC is not responsible for meeting your deadlines.
The HWC will make a log entry of your paper and any feedback provided. That entry will be accessible to your professors, so they will know whether you made use of the HWC's services.
