Writing Workshops: In-Lab
The In-Lab Workshop Series is designed to provide Purdue students with an opportunity to learn about a variety of writing-related topics, including information about writing skills, research papers, business writing documents, and the use of our OWL (Online Writing Lab). Each interactive presentation, facilitated by experienced Writing Lab Instructors, is designed to equip students with the skills they need to succeed at writing tasks.
All workshops are free, and located in the Writing Lab (Heavilon 226). Each workshop will be limited to a capacity of 15 students. While we cannot accommodate entire classes at the In-Lab Workshops, we do encourage instructors to send students for specialized writing assistance. Instructors may also consider offering the workshops as an extra-credit opportunity.
