I give lectures on oral presentations and on academic writing (teachers within different fields contact us and ask us to come and give these lectures to their students), and sometimes I also lecture to teachers about how to teach academic writing and give good feedback. But what I mostly do is meet with students, individually, and discuss their writing assignments. Oh, and I also give a short oral proficiency course for international students - again, no academic credits.
Have you met with your new therapist? I'm sorry, I must have missed that! Does she seem ok?
(btw, on Wednesday we have a kind of open-house thing for students who are working on written assignments, and there will be some workshops or talks on de-stressing and how to deal with anxiety. Not sure if that's interesting, but just so you know.)

Oh, so you have a degree in rhetoric and composition then? I think I have a bit on an idea of what you do. I worked as a writing tutor when I was in school. It sounds like interesting work. Sometimes I really miss some of my clients from the writing center. I had to quit abruptly after SA. Seeing them around campus when I came back to finish school was so embarrassing.
