使命宣言

英语写作与口语中心 is a resource for all members of the Whitman community. We support a culture of peer feedback on writing and speaking at all levels and in all genres. We believe that all writers and speakers benefit from working with others. 为社区提供便利, 亚虎娱乐官网pt提供各种各样的课程和机会, 比如个别咨询, 研讨会, 和在奶牛小组写作时间, peer feedback on writing in particular courses from our Academic Writing Course Assistants, and cultural mentorship and navigation through our 惠特曼国际导师(异想天开) program. 

Covid协议

一对一的对话是奶牛的核心. We want to talk with you about your writing and speaking projects. In our current pandemic, we have had to make adjustments to this core service. Though we are now open to in-person consultations, we must keep at least 3ft. of distance and remain masked throughout the meeting. This means it may be helpful to bring more than one copy of your work in order to maintain a safe distance while reading together. 如果这阻碍了你的学习方式, online consultations are still available through the scheduling link. If you are working with an Academic Writing Course Assistant or a WhIMsie, they will arrange appropriate meeting times and spaces with you and are expected to follow the same safety guidelines.

牛

亚虎娱乐官网pt不是牛. We are human peer academic writing and speaking coaches! All peer coaches in the COWS have been trained in peer tutoring and writing processes and continue to receive professional development while they work for the COWS. We are students from sophomore-senior levels and across all academic divisions. We are generalists, not experts at any one style of writing or speaking. 亚虎娱乐官网pt喜欢头脑风暴, 组织, 有时甚至编辑语法问题, 但最重要的是, we enjoy talking with you about what you want to do with your writing and speaking.

We are in Olin 191, in the East building of Olin, overlooking Ankeny Field. 一旦你进入大楼，你就不会错过亚虎娱乐官网pt. 亚虎娱乐官网pt走廊外面的墙上有一头巨大的奶牛, and the hallway is striped in bright teal and mustard colors. Our main room has small tables for consultations as well as desktop computers and a printer you are welcome to use. 在亚虎娱乐官网pt的走廊, we have two smaller private consultation rooms equipped with video recording equipment, if you would like to record and review a presentation. We also have one computer equipped with Dragonspeak voice-to-text software available to anyone upon request.

We talk with you about your goals for your writing and speaking projects and then collaborate with you to reach those goals. 亚虎娱乐官网pt倾听并回应，通常是提出问题. We can help find resources you can use in the COWS or online. We often will read your writing aloud to you or ask if you would like to read it aloud. 亚虎娱乐官网pt可以在谈话时做笔记.

亚虎娱乐官网pt不会对你的论文进行复印编辑. We do have several useful handouts outside our main room and online that can guide you through copy-editing your work. 

亚虎娱乐官网pt不猜测成绩. We are not in your class and we do not work with your professor. 亚虎娱乐官网pt在这里是倾听和回应的同伴. 亚虎娱乐官网pt不能保证任何成绩.

亚虎娱乐官网pt不会“修改”你的论文或你. 你的作品是你的! 亚虎娱乐官网pt想让你拥有它.

We are open Sunday-Friday from 2pm-10pm, except on Fridays when we close at 5PM. We are closed on Saturdays and on all Whitman holidays.
