Additional help is available to help you further develop your writing skills.
- You can attend a Learning Centre workshop.
- Look at the Learning Centre’s online resources.
- Ask Learning Centre staff if you can do a short writing test for a ‘diagnosis’ of your writing. Alternatively, ask for an appointment to show Learning Centre staff one of your essays, preferably with your marker’s feedback. Note that we can’t help you proofread or edit a draft.
- Ask your lecturer or tutor for feedback on your assignment draft. This allows you to make improvements before handing it in. Some markers will give feedback on a draft and some won’t.
- During consultation hours for your lecturer or tutor, ask them for more feedback on your marked essay.
- Ask your lecturer or department if there are any examples of good essays to see what you are aiming for.
- Discuss your essay ideas, markers’ feedback and your writing process with other students.
