Writer’s Toolkit for College Students - Science

The Writer’s Toolkit for College Students was put together by CEGEP teachers to help students achieve their academic, professional, and personal goals by becoming more effective communicators. The idea for the Toolkit originated a few years ago from discussions between English and Humanities teachers on how their departments could reinforce common skills. Since then, the vision of the project was expanded to include other programs. 

As the main component of the Writer’s Toolkit, the General Education handbook provides a guide for student writing in all programs. Topics covered in the Science supplement include:

• Scientific tone and style

• Creating tables and graphs

• The lab report

• Documentation style guide: CSE

• Verb tenses

• Biology requirements

• Sample Biology and Chemistry lab reports
