 Intro to Writing Labs and Centres
Many colleges and universities recognize that writing reports with accuracy, clarity,
organization and style is challenging!

Often, there are support centres where (their) students may bring their rough drafts
and consult with tutors about their usage of grammar, syntax and citations.
Further, these writing centres are excellent resources for detailed info and
suggestions on every form of academic writing, style, and grammar.

Revising your writing is so important! Find a list of Writing Centres here
