Need to focus on editing for grammar?
Our revamped editing series includes 4 student-led workshops. Learn from and with your peers!
- A Run-in with Run-ons - Practice finding and fixing classic sentence errors: run-ons, sentence fragments, and comma splices.
- Problems with Pronouns - Do your pronouns confuse the reader? Learn to use pronouns correctly for agreement and case.
- Victory over Verbs - Make sure each verb matches the rest of its sentence and fits the context of the whole paper.
- The Tiny but Troublesome - Learn to catch errors that make strong papers look sloppy: spelling, apostrophes, and more...
All of these student-led grammar workshops are 50 minutes long.
