DESCRIPTION:In response to programming moving online due to COVID-19\, materials from this two-day workshop on grammar are available ANYTIME as self-directed slides and worksheets\, through self-registration in CourseLink’s Writing Tune-up: Grammar. (Note: When you follow this link for the first time\, you will see a page that says “Not Authorized.” Click on the Self-Registration tab at the top of that page and select Writing Tune-up.) \nThis two-day Writing Tune-up: Grammar series provides grammar instruction for all levels of writers. It is open to graduate and undergraduate students\, postdoctoral fellows\, visiting scholars\, faculty and staff at the University of Guelph\, as well as Guelph community members. The workshop materials are useful for participants wanting to improve their own writing skills as well as to provide more effective feedback on students’ writing as TAs or faculty.
