1. Making an appointment
Make an appointment (or more than one!) by accessing our online schedule: cws.agnesscott.edu. It's easy to set up an account using your ASC e-mail address and password and easy to navigate the scheduling site. On the schedule, available appointments are highlighted in white. Appointments you've already made will be highlighted in yellow.
2. Be on time!
This is a no-brainer, but still important to mention. As with any appointment, it is important to notify your tutor if you know can’t make it on time. The CWS policy is to consider an appointment cancelled, if the tutee is 15 minutes late. The reason for this is that (1) we want you to have a meeting that is as productive as possible. There is little we can do to help if you only have 10 minutes left of an appointment that was supposed to last 30 minutes or more; and (2) in fairness to all Scotties, we try to discourage repeated tardiness, because unused appointment time takes away opportunities from others who might want to meet with a tutor but can’t find an available time-slot.
2. Plan ahead, and, if needed, cancel or reschedule your appointment by going to cws.agnesscott.edu.
Treat your CWS appointment like you would any other professional enaggement. If you are running late or need to miss an appointment, please notify your tutor. There may be other Scotties who can take your spot--so it all works out well for everyone!
3. Come with an agenda.
Bring your course syllabus and any other materials relevant to the assugnment, such as an assignment sheet, class notes, rubric, etc. If there's time, give the assignment some thought nefore your CWS conference and take notes on your ideas. these will help the tutor know what you want to say in your paper or presentation. If you need a quiet space, your tutor can help find a comfortable place for the two of you to work.
4. Come Back!
Try to make several appointments for every project and be sure to spend time working on the assignment between appointments.
