Academic Writing Centre/ Het Academisch Schrijfcentrum Nijmegen (ASN)
It is not easy to write a proper academic text. If you have a writing assignment such as an essay, a thesis, report or another written document you can get help at the writing centre. They do not write or think up the text for you, but they give feedback on any question you have during the process of working on the assignment. By doing so they can help you to improve your thinking and writing process, which in effect will help you to write a better text.
