Academic Advice in Science & Engineering

Students in Science & Engineering can make an appointment or come to a class with the Effective Learning Adviser for the College (or one of her Graduate Teaching Assistants) to talk about anything related to their academic work. Common topics include:

• academic writing (essays, lab reports, research proposals)
• critical analysis
• scientific presentations
• time and project management
• effective, evidence-based study and revision methods

2017-18 CoSE Semester 1 Timetable

We can advise you on current unmarked work, including helping you in how you:

• interpret the question
• think about your argument
• plan your essay
• research and use your sources
• write and edit your work

We can advise you within the context of your subject, but are unable to advise on specific content. Similarly, we encourage your ability to edit and assess your work and, therefore, cannot offer proof reading.

We can also advise you on past assignments, and their feedback, to help you to use that feedback to improve your writing.
