Student Conference: Resources, fall 2014
In this section you find literature references and links to
on-line material on technical writing, research methodology, and
(oral) presentations.
The University has a writing lab (språkverkstan).
Their staff can help you identifying typical problems in your text(s).
However, please note that they will NOT proofread or even edit your
entire material. YOU have to write the paper, not them. The services
offered are nevertheless very helpful. Please contact
Jenny Signarsson (at StudentCentrum: sprakverkstad@adm.umu.se)
for more information.
Note: You must make an appointment in good time before our submission deadline(s).
