Handouts
The LAC has developed a series of handouts for UM students. The handouts are available in pdf format for students/faculty/staff to print. Feel free to use and duplicate these resources, provided you print the pages in their original format and credit UM's Learning Assistance Centre as author. If you have any questions regarding the handouts or their use, contact miriam_unruh@umanitoba.ca.
Files in pdf format require Acobat Reader. If you do not have Acrobat software, you can get it from UMinfo's Software Express.
