In this memo, we propose to set up an Academic Writing Centre (AWC) at the University of Groningen. The AWC will offer individual coaching to students who want to improve their academic writing skills. The centre will also offer workshops on common issues in academic writing, for example: how to write an introduction, or how to use online databases? The goal of the AWC is to help students become better writers. The writing coaches will help students with structure, argumentation and academic language, but will not correct spelling mistakes, and the like. However, the AWC will have a digital component where students can find information on, for example, how to use references.\u00a0All students from the University of Groningen would be able to make free use of the services provided by the AWC. We wrote this memo in close collaboration with Prof. Dr. Kees de Glopper, Prof. Dr. Carel Jansen and the Language Centre.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button admin_label=&#8221;Downloadknop&#8221; button_url=&#8221;http:\/\/www.lijstcalimero.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Lijst-Calimero-Memo-AWC-Revised-12-01-2017-1.pdf&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Download the original memo&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;left&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_size=&#8221;14&#8243; button_text_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; button_bg_color=&#8221;#0fb13a&#8221; button_border_width=&#8221;5&#8243; button_border_radius=&#8221;0&#8243; button_letter_spacing=&#8221;0&#8243; button_use_icon=&#8221;default&#8221; button_icon=&#8221;%%266%%&#8221; button_icon_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; button_icon_placement=&#8221;right&#8221; button_on_hover=&#8221;off&#8221; button_bg_color_hover=&#8221;#037f40&#8243; button_border_radius_hover=&#8221;0&#8243; button_letter_spacing_hover=&#8221;0&#8243;] [\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[et_pb_section admin_label=&#8221;section&#8221; transparent_background=&#8221;off&#8221; allow_player_pause=&#8221;off&#8221; inner_shadow=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method=&#8221;off&#8221; padding_mobile=&#8221;off&#8221; make_fullwidth=&#8221;off&#8221; use_custom_width=&#8221;off&#8221; width_unit=&#8221;on&#8221; make_equal=&#8221;off&#8221; use_custom_gutter=&#8221;off&#8221;][et_pb_row admin_label=&#8221;row&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243;][et_pb_button admin_label=&#8221;Back to initiatives overview&#8221; button_url=&#8221;http:\/\/www.lijstcalimero.nl\/en\/initiatives\/&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;off&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Back to the overview&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;left&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_size=&#8221;14&#8243; button_text_color=&#8221;#0fb13a&#8221; button_bg_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; button_border_radius=&#8221;0&#8243; button_letter_spacing=&#8221;0&#8243; button_use_icon=&#8221;default&#8221; button_icon=&#8221;%%27%%&#8221; button_icon_color=&#8221;#0fb13a&#8221; button_icon_placement=&#8221;left&#8221; button_on_hover=&#8221;off&#8221; button_bg_color_hover=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; button_border_radius_hover=&#8221;0&#8243; button_letter_spacing_hover=&#8221;0&#8243; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221; button_text_color_hover=&#8221;#037f40&#8243;] [\/et_pb_button][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Titel&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221; text_font=&#8221;|on|||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;24&#8243; text_text_color=&#8221;#0fb13a&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;] Academic Writing [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7058,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"[et_pb_section admin_label=\"section\" transparent_background=\"off\" allow_player_pause=\"off\" inner_shadow=\"off\" parallax=\"off\" parallax_method=\"off\" padding_mobile=\"off\" make_fullwidth=\"off\" use_custom_width=\"off\" width_unit=\"on\" make_equal=\"off\" use_custom_gutter=\"off\"][et_pb_row admin_label=\"row\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\"][et_pb_button admin_label=\"Back to initiatives overview\" button_url=\"http:\/\/www.lijstcalimero.nl\/en\/initiatives\/\" url_new_window=\"off\" button_text=\"Back to the overview\" button_alignment=\"left\" background_layout=\"light\" custom_button=\"on\" button_text_size=\"14\" button_text_color=\"#0fb13a\" button_bg_color=\"#ffffff\" button_border_radius=\"0\" button_letter_spacing=\"0\" button_use_icon=\"default\" button_icon=\"%%27%%\" button_icon_color=\"#0fb13a\" button_icon_placement=\"left\" button_on_hover=\"off\" button_bg_color_hover=\"#ffffff\" button_border_radius_hover=\"0\" button_letter_spacing_hover=\"0\" saved_tabs=\"all\" button_text_color_hover=\"#037f40\"]\r\n\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_button][et_pb_text admin_label=\"Titel\" background_layout=\"light\" text_orientation=\"left\" text_font=\"|on|||\" text_font_size=\"24\" text_text_color=\"#0fb13a\" use_border_color=\"off\" border_color=\"#ffffff\" border_style=\"solid\"]\r\n\r\n<p>Strengthening of Program Committees<\/p>\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=\"Samenvatting\" background_layout=\"light\" text_orientation=\"left\" use_border_color=\"off\" border_color=\"#ffffff\" border_style=\"solid\"]\r\n\r\n<em>Update 19-12-2016<\/em>\r\nOn December 15, 2016, we handed in another memo!

We wrote this memo in close collaboration with Prof. Dr. Kees de Glopper, Prof. Dr. Carel Jansen and the Language Centre. Over the past months, we discussed this proposal with our contacts at the faculties and at the moment, we\u2019ve asked most of them to sign our memo. This week, we handed in a first version of the memo with signatures from the College van Assessoren and faculty councils. The Board of the University has three months to formulate a response to our memo. Once we\u2019ve collected the signatures from study associations, we can hand in an updated version of the memo.\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button admin_label=\"Downloadknop\" button_url=\"http:\/\/www.lijstcalimero.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Notitie-Versterking-Medezeggenschap-en-Verkiezingen.pdf\" url_new_window=\"on\" button_text=\"Download the original memo\" button_alignment=\"left\" background_layout=\"light\" custom_button=\"on\" button_text_size=\"14\" button_text_color=\"#ffffff\" button_bg_color=\"#0fb13a\" button_border_width=\"5\" button_border_radius=\"0\" button_letter_spacing=\"0\" button_use_icon=\"default\" button_icon=\"%%266%%\" button_icon_color=\"#ffffff\" button_icon_placement=\"right\" button_on_hover=\"off\" button_bg_color_hover=\"#037f40\" button_border_radius_hover=\"0\" button_letter_spacing_hover=\"0\"]\r\n\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]","footnotes":""},"project_category":[647,643,629],"project_tag":[],"class_list":["post-7484","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","project_category-2016-2017","project_category-notitie","project_category-onderwijskwaliteit"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lijstcalimero.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/7484","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lijstcalimero.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lijstcalimero.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/project"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lijstcalimero.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lijstcalimero.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7484"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/www.lijstcalimero.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/7484\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7585,"href":"https:\/\/www.lijstcalimero.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/7484\/revisions\/7585"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lijstcalimero.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7058"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lijstcalimero.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7484"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"project_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lijstcalimero.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project_category?post=7484"},{"taxonomy":"project_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lijstcalimero.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project_tag?post=7484"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
