W-CATs will introduce themselves to the class they support at the beginning of the semester, but you can also ask your course instructor or come into the Student Writing &amp; Language Center to find out your W-CATs contact information and when they are in the SWLC to support you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are enrolled in a course with a W-CAT attached to it, you may schedule a meeting with the W-CAT through <a href=\"https:\/\/web.penjiapp.com\/schools\/bates\/communities\/writing-language-center\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Penji<\/a> by searching the name of your <strong>W-CAT,<\/strong> your <strong>course<\/strong>, or your <strong>professor<\/strong>. These tutors possess the tools and training to help you reach your goals as a writer in the course. Think of W-CATs as a subset of general writing tutors\u2013their sole responsibility is supporting you in becoming an independent and confident writer and communicator in your course&#8211;and
