MIT Postdocs: writing consultations available by appointment

[Dana Bresee Keeth]

*Dear MIT Postdocs,

We wanted to pass along information from the Writing and Communication 
Center about this very important resource. MIT postdocs are again able 
to use these services; please see the details below.

Regards,

Dana Bresee Keeth
Office of the Provost
*****

The Writing and Communication Center (12-132) offers free individual 
consultation about any writing difficulty, from questions about grammar 
to matters of style, including difficulties common to writers, such as 
overcoming writer's block, organizing papers, revising one's work, or 
presenting scientific and technical information. The Center's 
professional lecturers help with theses, articles and books for 
publication, conference presentations, teaching and research statements, 
CVs, applications, course papers, slides, and oral presentation skills 
(how to write a speech, how to use visual aids, how to conduct oneself 
when presenting scientific or nonscientific information). Clients may 
visit the Center during any stage of the writing process: prewriting, 
writing a first draft, revising, or editing. The Center is a teaching 
institution; it is not a proofreading service. The Center  aims to teach 
writing as a process, to clarify and promote techniques of good writing. 
The Center provides specialized help to those for whom English is a 
second language. All appointments are made online. Go to the Center's 
website **http://writing.mit.edu/wcc/appointments and follow the 
directions to schedule appointments.*
