Academic Writing Support - Video Tutorials

These video tutorials are designed to help you make your text clearer, more concise and more precise.  When your text is clear, your reader will spend less time trying to understand what you have written, and instead focus on what you have done. In other words, you will get more credit for all your hard work.
