Feedback on our Academic Skills team

Our Academic Skills team offer one-to-one and drop-in sessions to help and support you with a wide range of academic skills. Here’s what you’ve said about the help our team have provided:

 

“Loved the support and guidance I received from the team. She really helped me understand how to apply critical thinking in essays which I was unsure of before. Patiently listened and answered all of my questions thereby giving me good advice. Was a wholesome conversation .:)”

 

“I think my advisor actively and deeply listened to me and asked follow-up questions to spot my needs and share helpful tips in a kind manner and considerations so as not to overwhelm me with a lot of information in a limited time frame. It is helpful that she reminds me of the right things I have been doing and spotlight the progress mainly so that I won't be fixated on the end goals only and feel frustrated when I have to go through 'trial and error' moments.”

 

“Very efficient and supportive service”

 

“My queries were followed up by Claire and Gemma and I felt they were keen to tell me what was available. I hadn't known about this service until now though and wonder if you can make what is available clearer to P/T PhD students who may slip through the net?”

 

“Gemma was so helpful, I came away from the session feeling very supported and appreciated the effort she took to help me as well and ensuring I had a clear plan leaving the session!”
