What to Expect in a Consultation

Speech consultants are available to work with you online or in-person. In Allendale, consultants are in Lake Michigan Hall 154 during the day and in the Mary Idema Pew Library Knowledge Market in the evenings. A consultant will meet with you one-on-one for 30 minutes to discuss your presentation, and practice rooms are available at all locations. The content of every session is different because consultants are focused on your individual needs.

Consultations are most productive if you:

Have your assignment sheet
Come prepared with specific questions
Leave plenty of time to work on your project before it's due

Expect a friendly conversation with a highly-trained peer that will end with a plan for improving your project. Feel free to come back with new drafts of your project or more questions!
