Today@Dal

The Writing Centre is fully open online to provide student writing support during the academic year. Please feel free to share this short video about our services (https://youtu.be/fFMI2E6jgKM) with your students on your Brightspace and/or social media channels.

Along with our regular services of online review appointments (students send in a draft paper at any stage of the writing process for feedback and review) and synchronous video-chat appointments about writing and writing assignments, we are now offering the following additional synchronous sessions for students:

​Daily Synchronous Drop-in Sessions

​​Beginning Monday, November 2, the Writing Centre will hold Synchronous Drop-in Sessions every weekday from 1:00-2:00 PM AST. During that time, students can drop in to the virtual Brightspace link https://ca.bbcollab.com/guest/f79c506802b04a77b82b4ac9494b7662 without needing to pre-book an appointment, on a first-come, first-served basis to ask a quick question about grammar, citation, structure, or other aspects of writing. Additional sessions may be added with increased demand. See dal.ca/writingcentre for ongoing updates.

Wednesday Synchronous Workshops

The Writing Centre's new Weekly Wednesday Workshops are a series of synchronous sessions on a variety of important topics in academic writing. The sessions will run every Wednesday from 3:00-4:00 PM AST until the end of term. The sessions are free to join, and no pre-registration is required. Join a session at https://ca.bbcollab.com/collab/ui/session/guest/3bec324c6de84b569a00b3a6ddc64984 The first session, Sentence Types, will be Wednesday, Nov 4, and Writing Thesis Statements will be Wednesday, Nov 18. See dal.ca/writingcentre for a list of future workshop topics.
