At the beginning of last semester, the campus Writing Centers debuted the Online Writing Lab, a place where students can go to get help with English mechanics, like grammar and punctuation, and all the steps of the writing process, including research, drafting, revising, and documentation.
One of the highlights of the OWL are the tutorials; check out the tutorial on diction, for example, to learn more about when to use Standard American English, and when to use colloquial or informal English. There are examples of good word choices for different situations, quizzes to test your understanding, and videos and images to illustrate concepts.
There are also handouts and presentations on common questions and problems, plus links to high-quality outside sources that can help you. And, the Writing Centers plan on adding even more content over the next few semesters, so be sure to check back regularly to see what they can do for you!
