Academic Advice in Social Sciences

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

    • academic writing (essays, dissertations, research proposals)
    • argumentation
    • engagement with literature, referencing and using/critiquing sources
    • time and project management
    • effective, evidence-based study and revision methods

2019-20 Semester 1 Class Timetable - Arts and Social Sciences

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.
