=Writing Resources=

[|The WLU Assignment Planner] is an online writing resource that takes students through the process of researching and writing an academic paper. It helps them complete an assignment over a projected timeline by breaking down the process into 11 steps. It suggests the time it should take to accomplish each step before the due date, and provides email reminders in order to help students manage their time. Each step gives succinct advice on a particular aspect of the research or writing process and introduces evidence-based strategies, fleshed out with examples and links to relevant online resources. In its current form the Assignment Planner is a general writing resource, but in step 2 we have a link to discipline-specific assignment types. For more information, contact the [|Writing Centre.]
