The End-of-First-Half Blues

First-half courses are coming to an end this week, which means that the CWR will be busier than usual.  Make your appointment now to avoid the unfortunate experience of discovering (later this week) that no open slots are available.

Make that Appointment!

Our Writing Assistants have been phenomenally busy offering help-sessions this week. With midterms coming up, you'll start seeing even more traffic-jams in the CWR. While walk-ins are always welcome, you can avoid waiting in line by signing up for a specific time slot. Call x7904 or click on the "Make an appointment" link at the right.

For Faculty: Scaffolding

Over twenty Hope College faculty have already signed up for a workshop that aims to improve student paper assignments.  The CWR workshop "Effective Scaffolding for Better Student Papers" will take place on Tuesday, October 30, at 11:00 a.m. in the Maas Conference Room.  Space is still available; send an RSVP to the CWR if you'd like to attend. 

The Countdown Begins

The CWR re-opens next Sunday at noon.  Why wait?  Come in and brainstorm your ideas for that first paper.  (No assignment yet?  Surprise your professor:  ask for it early.)

The Writing Assistants are Back!

Many thanks to our fabulous Hope College Writing Assistants who are preparing for the 2012-2013 academic year.  All twenty-five of them have been back on campus for several days, attending workshops and training sessions, so that they can provide the best possible assistance to Hope students.  The CWR opens for business next Sunday; stop by and say hello to your new WAs.
