Grammar for Grad Students - Online workshop
February 21 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Grammar is a common concern for writers of all levels – and at the graduate level, clear and correct grammar is especially important as a tool to ensure that your ideas take center stage in your writing. In this workshop, we’ll review some common grammatical stumbling blocks, and how to fix them. Graduate student writers at all stages of the writing process and their graduate careers are welcome!
