Learning Adviser Appointments

Learning Advisers appointments are available by referral only, for at risk students in need of support.

 

  • Academic writing style including: paragraph structure, overall structure of essays, reports, and other assessment types. 
  • Understanding your assessment and rubric 
  • Referencing - check the Library referencing guides as your first step  
  • Using assessment feedback for resubmission or subsequent assessments  
  • Study skills, such as time management, note-taking, and exam preparation 
  • Numeracy skills, maths and statistics assessments  
  • Academic integrity 

During the first appointment the Learning Adviser will consult with you to assess the support you need in order to meet your study goals and develop a support plan with you. Learning Advisers also offer feedback on a draft assessment, academic skills or numeracy support.

To make the most of your appointment, upload relevant assessment documents to your booking. Think about where you would like us to focus or how we can help you, as well as your strengths and things you do well, or leave a comment about it.

Get the most out of your appointment:

  • For assessments of 2000 words or more, we can provide feedback on the overall structure or selected paragraphs, but not every paragraph 
  • Ensure you understand all our comments and feedback during your appointment. We can only review your assessment draft once to ensure we help as many students as possible 

 

Learning Adviser appointments are a fantastic opportunity to get advice on your study skills and assessments.
