A new year and a new semester! It's the second week of classes, and after that glorious luxury called a three-day weekend, you're getting back into the swing of things. If you're a freshman, you may be taking your first University Seminar this semester. Or maybe if you're an upperclassman, this is the semester that you take your Departmental Seminar. Whether you fall into one of those categories, or you aren't even taking a SAGES class this semester, the SAGES Peer Writing Crew is here to help you with all your writing needs. Remember, there are lots of ways to get in touch with us! Maybe with the new year, you want to try a new method of getting help with your writing. Check out the options we have for you...

IN PERSON
You can make an appointment with us, or just walk in and ask for help! To find out when the Crew is available, use your Case ID (abc123) and password to log in to http://tutortrac.case.edu. Right at the top of the page, where it says "Go to..." click on "Make Appointment." Enter a range of dates for when you would like to have your appointment, and under "Or, select a Center:" click on "SAGES Writing Crew." Choose the appropriate class from the lower list and click Search. The bottom of the page will fill with a list of open time slots, telling you when you can meet with a Crew member!

EMAIL
If you're more electronically inclined, you can also contact the Crew through email! Send your paper to sageswritingcrew@gmail.com, along with a description of your assignment. We check our email once a day, so you'll get a prompt reply!

AIM
Need instant help? You can use AOL Instant Messenger to talk to us as well! Add SAGESWritingCrew to your Buddy List, and someone will be on hand to answer your writing questions, Sunday - Thursday, 9 pm - 11 pm!

ONLINE WRITING GUIDE
If you happen to prefer self-help, we have an excellent resource for you in the form of Beyond Typing, a student-written online writing guide, which can be found at http://ess.case.edu/sagesguide. You'll find answers to common writing questions there, as well as tips for writing well. Check it out; you might find that you don't even have to talk to a Crew member to have your questions answered!

However you prefer to get help with writing, the SAGES Peer Writing Crew is on hand and ready to assist you. Good luck with the new semester, and we hope to see you soon!
