的 CSWIM offers students the opportunity to work on their writing by engaging in discussions with an experienced reader. 我们相信学生, 就像专业作家一样, benefit from having a focused conversation with their peers as they draft and revise their work. 的 写作，口语和形象合作伙伴 who staff the CSWIM are 皇冠体育 students – sophomores, 初中, and seniors – majoring in subjects as varied as English, 政治, 环境分析, 和物理. Partners are trained to work with writers at all levels, 在写作过程的所有阶段, 以及任何学科的作业.

All 皇冠体育 students are encouraged to take advantage of the CSWIM throughout their time on campus. 5-C students taking 皇冠体育 classes are also welcome to visit 皇冠体育's CSWIM. 5-C students who wish to make an appointment should 给CSWIM发邮件.

当您访问CSWIM时, you will meet with a Partner for a consultation up to 50 minutes long (or a 20 to 40-minute consultation if you drop in). You and your Partner will work collaboratively to identify and help with any potential areas of improvement. Working closely with your Partner can help you improve your skills as a writer, not just for the writing project you brought in but also for future projects.

CSWIM consultations are question-driven and collaborative. Conferences focus primarily on higher-order strategies focus on argument and organization. 虽然写作伙伴不编辑或校对, they can teach you techniques for addressing sentence-level patterns. Please know that your Partner will not know exactly what your professor expects and will not be able to predict your grade. 在你的预约开始时, your Partner will ask you about your writing project and what you'd like to focus on, and you will work with your Partner to develop an agenda for what you'd like to accomplish. At the end of the session, you'll work together to develop a plan of next steps. 你还可以期待茶、糖果和舒适的沙发!

Your Regular 写作 Partner who will meet with you every week or every other week at the same time, and who has experience in the areas that you are studying. Many students benefit from having a Regular 写作 Partner, from students who are nervous about making the transition to college-level writing to students who are making a foray into a new discipline to seniors working on thesis projects. 和你的固定写作伙伴一起工作, you will not only address your current writing projects, but you will also actively develop your skills as a writer throughout the semester.

Speaking appointments are made with Speaking Partners, 谁能自如地使用口语, 从演讲到课堂讨论. 他们可以就演讲的清晰度提出建议, 幻灯片, 演讲焦虑, 和更多的, letting you practice or plan an oral presentation 提前.

If you fail to cancel your appointment at least an hour before your appointment begins 两次 在学期中, you will not be able to make appointments for the remainder of the semester, 不过你可以来串门. We limit students to two scheduled appointments per week to make sure that all students who want to make appointments at the CSWIM are able to do so.

You shouldn't expect your 写作 Partner to be familiar with your class/text/professor. 然而, all Partners have been trained to work with students 在写作过程的所有阶段, even if they don't know the specifics of your class. 事实上, 在很多情况下, it may be better that your Partner isn't familiar with your course, since that can help them evaluate your writing more objectively. You can also use the 调度器 to filter partners by disciplines and subjects they're more comfortable with.

的 CSWIM is able to work with students on all types of writing and speaking projects. 然而, there are four specific areas that require that your 写作 Partner have a very specific background:

• 外语试卷
• 创意写作
• Upper-level science papers that are not lab reports
• 论文项目

如果你在这种类型的项目工作，请 给CSWIM发邮件 提前.
