<p>This is very interesting to me as S2 just started at Swarthmore. While somewhat gifted in Math, I feel his writing skills need some work. So the first week has been a complete surprise to me. He has met with his advisor three times, talked to many faculty members and picked courses that are perfect for him. The one course I really feel will help is a course that is called Transition to College Writing. What a wonderful opportunity to learn to write successful college level essays. Along with the pass/fail first semester, I feel that Swarthmore makes every opportunity for S2 to be successful. I have followed many of your posts interesteddad and have passed on your opinion about the writing tutors/help available to Swarthmore students and told him to take advantage of this wonderful programs. Please continue to post about the programs that Swat students can/should use. You are a HUGE help!</p>
