Assignment Masterclass 3: How to write excellent essays In-Person
Does a good academic standard mean writing in a complicated way or using lots of big words or scientific language? What about reading? Where and how do you find useful sources to use in your assignments?
If these are questions that you have thought about or struggled to find answers to, then these upcoming workshops run by the Academic Achievement Team and Academic Librarian will be of use to you.
Running between the 30th April to 2nd May from 10am - 11.30am, these three workshops will help demystify these questions and will provide answers that will leave students with a good understanding of searching for sources, note-taking, paraphrasing, synthesising sources, addressing assignment structures and more.

The final workshop will focus on structuring your assignments, reports and dissertations. A review will be given of the purpose of key sections such as an introduction, a literature review and a conclusion. The session will also look at the importance of synthesising sources in a literature review and will touch on the differene between writing decriptively and using critical analysis.
By the end of this session, you should be able to:
- Identify useful sources/know how to refine your searches using the Boolean technique
- Understand paraphrasing, how to synthesise your sources and under the function of sections of assignments/disseratations/reports
- produce work knowing when you need to demonstrate criticality or use descriptiveness
