Student Hub Live (SHL) event: Academic Writing 101

Writing academically is a skill that underlies the demonstration of successful learning in higher education but isn’t always thought about for itself. In this interactive SHL session, we will look at some of the key features of academic writing and explain how to develop your academic writing skills. We’ll give a tutor’s impression of what works well when communicating as well as the student viewpoint on how to achieve this. There will be plenty of opportunity for interaction and small group sessions to discuss what is being talked about and learn from your fellow students. 

Who is the session aimed at? All students and particularly those who might be new to Higher Education or returning after a break. Any student who may not have written academically recently or feels unconfident with their ability to do so.

What can you expect from the session? A non-module based session that will explain what academic writing is and give examples of how it might differ from other types of writing, as well as ways to develop successful academic writing.

There are two sessions available, one beginning at 7pm and one beginning at 8.30pm. You must register to take part.
