Writing & Public Speaking Drop-In Consulting at the Technical Communication Program
ICME students can arrange drop-in consulting at the Technical Communication Program (TCP) about any writing or public speaking project by going to http://engineering.stanford.edu/portals/student/academic-support-and-resources/technical-communications-program and clicking the "Consulting" tab. This will bring up a simple request form. Fill out and send the form. Then a TCP consultant will get back to you to arrange a meeting time. TCP is right next door to ICME, in Huang 049.
It is not necessary to be enrolled in any of TCP's formal courses (described elsewhere in the website) in order to take advantage of the drop-in consulting services. TCP's drop-in consulting is designed especially for relatively short-term projects, e.g., statement of purpose, research statement, teaching statement, conference abstract, poster, defense presentation, etc. (For help with more extended writing projects, such as journal papers and dissertation chapters, students are advised to enroll in TCP's 1-unit, S/NC Directed Writing course Engineering 202S.)
For any further questions, contact Claude Reichard, TCP Director, reichard@stanford.edu.
