The
Online Writing Clinic
The Writing Clinic offers two options for participating:
Option #1 : Receive an
evaluation and feedback based on one to two writing samples.
Have an expert identify strengths and weaknesses and provide specific
suggestions for improvement.
Option #2 : Receive
ongoing evaluations, feedback, and instruction over a six month period,
based on seven writing samples. This
six month process and its benefits are described below.
Process for Option #2:
| • |
Customized feedback and checklists are provided based on a
total of 7 writing samples over a 6-month period. |
| • |
Submission of 2 initial writing samples starts the
program. |
| • |
Submission of 1 writing sample per month can be made via
email, fax, and/or U.S. mail |
| • |
Feedback is provided on all or parts of a document via
email, fax, telephone, audiotape, and/or U.S. mail, depending on writing
issues. |
Benefits of Option #2:
| • |
Feedback is completely customized to each participant. |
| • |
Flexible schedule is possible, including the possibility
of "urgent feedback." |
| • |
Participants learn at their own pace.
They have time to digest suggestions and to try out new
techniques on different documents. |
| • |
Writing samples can range from short to long, business or
technical, informative or persuasive, instructional or descriptive. |
| • |
Participants can enroll at any time.
Their program begins with their first submission and ends 6
months later. |
| • |
Consistent coaching over time results in fast, clear, and
concise writing.

"I highly praise Susan Almazol for her work in
customizing and conducting the Writing Clinic for our national and
international field organization at Hewlett-Packard. Susan is an
excellent curriculum developer and teacher. She was particularly
thoughtful and insightful in delivering the program to our international
students, many with English as their second language. She consistently
received excellent evaluation results from the Writing Clinic
participants."
