Group Editorial Sessions: Exclusively for DUSON Students.
These bi-weekly, 90-minute, online video sessions will help you excel at APA and AMA scientific writing.
They are designed to complement the personal, one-on-one editorial advising sessions available to you as a DUSON student.
Each session covers a topic about which many students have some confusion. You need not submit any papers for group sessions. Instead, we discuss the session topic and I answer any questions you have.
Limited to 8 students per class. First come, first served. At this time, you may only enroll in 3 sessions per semester.
Registration is required at least 2 days in advance of each class date.
