University Writing website features online resources on writing anxiety, peer review, visual communication and more

The University Writing website has a number of writing instruction resources for students, faculty and writing professionals on our Open Educational Resource, or OER. On the website, more than 150 worksheets and handouts on a range of writing topics can be found. This semester, we hope students will pay special attention to our materials on managing writing anxiety, peer review and visual communication.

Managing Writing Anxiety: Practicing mindfulness can help people navigate feelings of anxiety about writing. Our resources on meditative pauses, progress tracking and reflective journaling will help students write mindfully.

Peer Review: Feedback from others can help you identify opportunities to revise your writing. Our resources on peer review will help faculty create impactful peer review assignments.

Visual Communication: Our resources on oral presentations, visual design and scientific posters will help students present their research in a clear, engaging way.
