The Writing and Communication Centre is focused on providing students with useful feedback and strategies for their research and writing projects; we are also focused on all aspects of the communication process, including professional communication documents like emails and memos, as well as documents designed for the web, such as ePortfolios and blogs. We are in the process of refreshing and developing resources to help you with your communication needs. Feel free to view and print the resources we currently have available.
Writing and Communication Centre Resources
Our resources cover a range of topics related to writing and communication across various disciplines, audiences, and situations. We have divided them into the following categories:
WriteOnline.ca
Writeonline.ca is a useful resource for students writing a variety of documents: lab reports, reflections, case studies, and literature reviews. For each type of writing, you can find information about structure and content, as well as models to help guide your drafting process. WriteOnline.ca is a collaboration between University of Waterloo, University of Guelph, and Wilfrid Laurier University. WriteOnline.ca is funded through the Council of Ontario Universities (COU).
Waterloo Writing Works
Waterloo Writing Works was developed by Professor Jay Dolmage for WatPD 11, a course for co-op students at UWaterloo. Its interactive content was designed specifically for students writing technical reports, but it is useful for students writing in other contexts, as well.
External links
We hope that the resources above will provide you with the information you need. If you would like to take a look at some of the resources offered by other institutions, we have provided a list of external links that should help.
