Getting Feedback on your Writing

As you work on your papers for this seminar, you are always welcome to make an appointment with me or with the writing instructor. We are happy to discuss the requirements for each assignment, listen to your preliminary ideas, and help you develop a structure for your argument. We can also review your first draft and offer feedback before you submit a paper for a grade.

In addition, we strongly encourage you to take advantage of the one-on-one writing support available to students in the SAGES program.  Tutors from the Writing Resource Center (WRC) and the SAGES Peer Writing Crew can assist you at any stage of the writing process:

• generating ideas

• composing a rough draft

• organizing your thoughts in the clearest and most compelling way

• editing and revising

Writing Resource Center

WRC consultants may be English department lecturers or graduate students with expertise in teaching writing. They meet with students at several campus locations and are also available for chat sessions online. You can make an appointment with a WRC consultant at http://wrc.case.edu.

SAGES Peer Writing Crew

Writing Crew members are undergraduates who have excelled as writers in their SAGES courses. Like WRC consultants, they hold tutoring sessions at several campus locations. In addition, they operate an electronic dropbox (sageswritingcrew@gmail.com) where you can submit drafts and receive written feedback. Their online guide, Beyond Typing (http://studentaffairs.case.edu/education/peer/sagesguide/toc.html), offers advice on all aspects of college writing. You can make an appointment with the Crew at http://tutortrac.case.edu.
