Introduce the UCEW to Students
The UCEW is ready to assist all writers at every stage of the writing process, working with clients from brainstorming for a new assignment through to the final draft. Writing conferences can help even the most advanced writers gain new perspectives on their work while beginning writers will find supportive and knowledgeable consultants to help guide their practice. Although conferences will vary according to the writing project, UCEW consultants can help clients:
- unpack difficult readings
- understand assignments
- generate and clarify ideas
- flesh out weak or biased arguments
- understand documentation and citation practices
- follow task-appropriate format
- develop strategies for identifying patterns of error that can be tracked and proofread for conformity to American academic English
- provide expert perspectives for creative projects
