Spring 2023 Writing Support Services FREE mini-courses  

SPH Writing Support Services will offer two FREE mini-courses: Grammar for Academic Writing and Advanced English Grammar and Punctuation for Graduate Students via Cisco WebEx starting the week of March 1, 2023. Each mini-course will meet two (2) hours per week for a total of four (4) weeks.

Grammar for Academic Writing (March 1 – March 29, 2023, Wednesdays, 1:30 p.m. – 3:30 p.m.)

This course is designed for graduate students who are motivated to improve or enhance their writing skills by practicing English grammar which is essential for successful academic writing. To register for this course, please e-mail Dr. Zhiling "Willa" Wu at Zhiling.Wu@uth.tmc.edu.  

Advanced English Grammar and Punctuation for Graduate Students (March 2 – March 30, 2023, Thursdays, 10:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m.) 

This course is designed for graduate students who want to improve their academic writing by focusing on grammatical issues and punctuation errors commonly found in graduate writing. Students should have a knowledge of basic English grammar, including the eight parts of speech and their functions in sentences; the verb types, moods, tenses, and voice as well as their uses in scientific writing; and the types of phrases, independent clauses, and dependent clauses as well as their roles in building sentences. To register for this course, please e-mail Dr. Patricia McEvoy-Jamil at Patricia.A.McEvoyJamil@uth.tmc.edu
