________________________________
The following is being sent on behalf of Dr. Jitendra Paliwal, Associate Dean (Academic and Graduate Programs).
The Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences is partnering with the Academic Learning Centre (ALC) this winter to provide a writing tutor service for FAFS graduate students.
The tutor is a graduate student with a strong background in writing at the graduate level and has participated in training offered through the ALC. They have ample experience working one-to-one with students on their writing.
The tutor will work in Study Room 232A in the William R. Newman (FAFS) Library on Tuesdays from 2:00-4:00pm and Fridays from 10:00-11:00pm, beginning January 17. You can make a one-hour appointment with the tutor to discuss your writing and receive reader-based feedback on drafts of course papers, research proposals, or chapters in your thesis. Information on how you can make appointments is provided in the attached PDF PowerPoint deck.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact the ALC at academic_learning(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:academic_learning@umanitoba.ca>.
