Academic Writing Class timetable
The Academic Writing classes differ from workshops in that they run over a 9 week course of 1 hour sessions. There is no obligation to attend all seminars. Classes focus on examples of good academic writing, with emphasis on the language and grammar needed for writing at tertiary level.
