Hello all
I was sorta hoping that someone else besides me would reply from Waterloo.
But of course there is a writing center here--but for what ever reason no
one in the center appears to connect to groups like this one.
Over the years I have tried very hard to get the group to connect but
without success.
The center operates a large test that most students are required to take as
well offering tutorial services and workshops.
