Virtual Appointments<\/strong>\u200b<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

You can schedule a\u00a01-on-1 video coaching\u00a0appointment<\/span>\u00a0with an\u00a0<\/span>EECS Communication Fellow<\/span><\/a> (a trained EECS grad student or postdoc) to give you feedback on any technical communication task. We can help at any point during the process – brainstorming, outlining, revising, or editing. We’re using the same scheduling system as usual. <\/span>Find<\/span> instructions on how to schedule a 30-60 minute session here<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Quick Takes<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

If you can’t make a video appointment, but still want some quick feedback, you can\u00a0submit a document to our Quick Takes<\/a> service. Note that this is intended as a way for you to get some brief, high-level feedback\u00a0and is NOT a copy-editing service.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Online Resources<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n

Check out the CommKit<\/a>, our online collection of communication guides for specific tasks. We have recently updated content about writing a paper, broken down by section and new information about best practices for coding, file organization, and documentation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Keep an eye out for new online content coming soon!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
