- Recognize the role evidence plays in essay writing
- Evaluate sources, particularly online sources, for appropriateness in history essays
- Learn how to recognize and avoid common spelling and grammatical errors

All workshops will be held in MacKinnon 305 from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. and the schedule is as follows:

Monday, Oct. 24: Evaluating Evidence and Using it Effectively
Wednesday, Oct. 26: Polishing Papers

Attendance at all three workshops is recommended. If a better mark is not enough of an incentive, snacks will be provided, too! Students can register for any or all workshops by emailing hewsguelph@gmail.com and providing name and year of study.
