Frequently Asked Questions about OWL
OWL对电子游戏软件社区的所有现有成员开放. 作者必须使用学校提供的Gmail地址登录才能访问教程请求表单.
比如康纳斯家庭学习中心提供的面对面辅导服务, OWL tutoring is completely free to eligible users.
The OWL is open for business Sunday through Friday 并遵循与康纳斯家庭学习中心的面对面辅导服务相同的时间表. It is not available during the winter, spring, or summer breaks, 在官方指定的大学假期也不提供, 在每学期本科课程的最后一天结束. During regular business hours, OWL提交将每天处理三次:上午10:00，下午2:00和下午6:00. 在指定的处理时间之后收到的提交文件的等待时间将在随后的处理时间(例如.g., if your paper arrives at 6:30 PM, 它不会被处理——你预期的48小时等待期不会开始——直到第二天上午10点。. Please plan accordingly.
The OWL currently limits submissions in any discipline to 8 double-spaced pages or less. If you are working on a longer writing project, you may wish to send only a portion of your draft, or to break your essay into parts and submit them separately. Long research papers, theses, and dissertations are not eligible, 作业也不被指定为“带回家”的期中或期末写作考试. We will, however, accept non-coursework related writing, such as cover letters and application essays. 关于超过8页的写作项目的问题，请在reidce@bc上向Cecilie Reid-Joyner咨询.edu.
Students are encouraged to submit to the OWL as often as they like; however, 我们要求学生一次只提交一份待提交的材料. 在同时从单个用户接收多个提交的情况下, they will be read in order of receipt, 只有在前一个响应完成并返回后才处理每个响应.
The OWL, 比如康纳斯家庭学习中心的面对面辅导, 是由合格的电子游戏正规平台生和本科生读者组成的，他们受过训练，能够批判性地和建设性地阅读和回应同龄人的作品.
就像发送电子邮件不同于面对面的交谈一样, on-line tutoring differs from in-person tutoring. 而不是评论句子的水平，你的OWL导师会 强调更广泛、更全球性、概念性和修辞性的问题. 这样的评语可能包括对你的写作中表现良好的部分的肯定, questions to consider as you revise, and advice about general ways of improving your work. 你的导师也可能会给你机会，让你参与到一个关于写作进展的积极对话中.
The OWL is not an editing or proofreading service. 对此类服务的任何请求都将导致您的论文在到达时被准确地退回给您. 你的导师不会试图评论你论文中的每一处, 你不应该在导师看过你的论文之后就认为它是“完美的”. 我们认为，提高是一个渐进的过程，主要是由作者实现的, 所以你应该准备好自己做额外的工作. 你的导师也不会评估你的写作或预测分数. Finally, your OWL tutor will comment upon your writing only insofar as it affects its subject content; our tutors are not subject experts, 并且不会试图提供主题领域的方向或澄清.
在OWL正常工作时间内收到的任何提交通常会在48小时内生成回复. Writers submitting during peak business periods (e.g., midterms, end-of-semester, etc.) may experience a wait time of as much as 72 hours. Tagging your submissions with time-sensitive headings, such as "urgent" or "ASAP" or "due tomorrow,不会加快程序或产生特别优先处理. 一定要在提交日期和截止日期之间预留至少三天的周转时间.
