HDMI cables, particularly in the Academic Skills Room in the Walton Library would be helpful when it comes to collaborative study

We Did

HDMI to USBC cables purchased for all libraries to enable collaborative working. USB to USBC adapters also purchased to allow students use of library headphones with apple laptops.​

You Said

Are there any extra resources beyond the ASK for students to get extra support in essay writing. I am teaching second years who have not had the benefit of your wonderful new module. I was just wondering whether there were any links I could send them. A few are worried because they have not written an essay before. I have given an essay prep seminar but they were asking about further sessions.

We Did

We suggested you look at our Study Skills page, as well as our Academic Writing page and our Good Academic Practice page.

Within these pages, they will find further links to more specific aspects of all these skills, e.g. within 'Academic Writing' they will find guidance on writing introductions, main paragraphs and conclusions, and within 'Study Skills' they will find some strategies for reading and note-taking, critical thinking etc. The 'Good Academic Practice' page contains links to resources on plagiarism, refencing and AI.

We also said "Beyond ASK, they could also look at the Academic Phrasebank".

And for more individual support, students can of course also book an appointment with the Academic Skills Team.

Finally we offered a group-level Academic Skills session which we coudl provide either online via Canvas or in-person.
