Academic Writing Essentials

We've designed a free Canvas course to equip you with the tools you'll need for successful academic writing:

  • Understanding the assignment
  • Planning your assignment
  • Using relevant and credible sources
  • Creating an argument
  • Structuring the assignment
  • Using professional oral and written communication
  • Using ethical oral and written communication

Each week, you'll have an assignment you can use with one of your existing class projects, and we'll host a drop-in Zoom meeting where you can talk with a writing coach about what you're learning and how you're progressing with your writing.

Join Us for a Weekly Drop-In Session!

 

 

You only need to register once for each subject's drop-in sessions; the same Zoom link will work all semester.
In-person drop-in sessions will be held at the front of the library. No registration is required -- come on in!
