One element that some online students miss in their regular coursework is live and interactive sessions with their instructor and classmates. Working together live harnesses our energy and allows you to receive feedback and answers to questions in real time. For students seeking this sort of experience, the Walden University Writing Center has a ton of live webinars coming up in July 2019. Note that with the exception of one, all of these webinars are appropriate for students in all programs and in all phases of their coursework.
