If you’d like help late at night or early in the morning, use TutorMe, CC’s free 24/7 tutoring service.

Here is the list of this week’s workshops. Please come and join us!

An ePoster is a digital presentation format required in some undergraduate and graduate classes, as well as a good format for presenting in many professional situations. ePosters apply the skill of remediation, the process of taking a text and translating it into a new medium. In this one-hour workshop, students will learn the basics of ePosters, including use of templates, examples of effective ePosters, and tips and tricks for strong presentations.
