Undergraduate Student Support

ACReW Program for 1st Year KPE students - new session to start September 3-13, 2024

Are you a first-year undergraduate student in KPE?   ACReW can start you off with feedback on your academic reading and writing!

ACReW (Academic Reading and e-Writing) is an online program for first-year undergraduate KPE students, offering individualized feedback two times per week on your academic reading and writing skills. Sign up for a 2-week session to get paired up with a writing instructor – space is limited!

What is required?

1.       read something of your choice (a course reading, a newspaper article, a magazine report, etc.)

2.       write a short email (one page or less) to your assigned writing instructor, responding to the reading (e.g., summarizing it, paraphrasing, or reflecting on it).

3.       your instructor will write you back, commenting on your response and its strengths and weaknesses

ACReW can help you develop the ability to recognize key points and respond to them, practice citation, improve your academic vocabulary, and identify skills you need to improve.  Two readings/writings each week are scheduled.

This program is operated by the Health Sciences Writing Centre. It is free, but requires students to sign up and commit to participating for two weeks. Space is limited.
