Grammar Foundations
The Centre for Student Academic Support (CSAS) is offering Grammar Foundations, a self-paced, online program to help you elevate your academic writing. The Carleton community can access the program through the CSAS Online Resources Brightspace page.
| Modules | Topic |

| Module 2 | Common Errors and Clause Combinations |
| Module 3 | Verb Tense, Complements, and Voice (active vs. passive) |
| Module 4 | Nouns, Phrases, and Prepositions |
The modules cover:
- Key grammar points used in academic writing
- Strategies for incorporating specific grammar points for more varied and engaging writing
