Postechian Core Capabilities: Global Citizenship 50%, Self-management 50%

The Clinic program is designed to support GIFT students actively writing papers for publication and preparing for presentations at international conferences. Students registering for this course will be expected to work independently to write and develop their own research. Clinic appointments will allow for evaluation, proofreading and revision of work as well as personally focused instruction on problems that merit attention.

Students should have taken the Basic level English courses offered through GIFT.

Students are required to schedule a minimum of six clinic sessions over the course of the semester. Each session will be for thirty minutes. The student must prepare at least two pages of appropriate writing (~600 words) per session. Alternatively, the student should be prepared to rehearse a conference presentation, including all presentation materials. Prof. Close will determine if the student has adequately prepared for each clinic session.

The clinics will be focused on each student's original research outputs.

While a regular Friday morning schedule is planned (with clinic sessions starting at 9:30 and continuing at 30 minute intervals), alternative scheduling is available if those times are not particularly convenient. It is important to remember, however, that each week's schedule will be determined on a first-come/first-served basis and that students who fail to schedule sufficient appointments early in the semester will not be given special preference in the last few weeks. Since demand for clinic sessions is likely to increase toward the end of the semester, students will be expected to schedule half of their clinic times before the mid-term period.
