Online Writing Lab
The OWL at MMI offers live tutoring sessions for MMI cadets and provides them with grammar and writing resources. The tutoring sessions consist of one-on-one chats with MMI English instructors who answer questions and offer advice on essays and other writing assignments. The grammar and writing resources consist of videos, pod-casts, and links to internet resources. Our mission is to empower cadets with the instruction, tools, and resources they need to become better writers.
