According to the Purdue Online Writing Lab Website:

"The purpose of this Purdue Writing Lab guide is to aid faculty across the university in supporting both domestic and international graduate students as writers. It explores the context of graduate student writing and includes strategies for providing feedback and for supporting students' development as scholars in their field of study. The strategies are contextualized in current research."

Although this guide is written for faculty, we think graduate students might also find it helpful.
