on Campus Workshop with Blesma, the Limbless Veterans Charity.
on Campus Workshop with Blesma, the Limbless Veterans Charity.
The aim of these talks delivered by a member of Blesma, The Limbless Veterans Charity, is for real patients to share their inspiring stories about facing huge personal challenges, overcoming adversities and how they have found coping strategies to help them live a positive and fulfilling life. We will get to hear their real patient experiences!
There will be a lecture/workshop at 1-2 pm on the 19th May at 1pm with 2 injured veterans from Blesma who will share their impactful and affirming experiences of life-changing injury and the journey to overcoming physical devastation, mental health difficulties and loss. Each story will last around 10-15 minutes and will be followed by a Q&A. We will also be discussing resilience with the members of Blesma more closely and how we can develop this ourselves! They will be discussing sensitive topics but will provide warning before doing so, more detail is given in the Eventbrite booking link below!
Tickets are LIMITED so sign up before its too late! https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/blesma-making-generation-r-lecture-and-workshop-tickets-334658311017

Many of you have asked about what support is available when your performance in an assessment has been affected by something extenuating or if you are struggling to meet submission deadlines for various reasons. If you aren't sure what a RRAA or RESD are click on the links which will explain. Your AA and Student Support Adviser can help to provide advice on these processes if you need to use them or if you aren't sure. Getting in touch early to seek advice is helpful.
Academic Conduct
Academic Conduct
Over the last few months the team have been involved in a number of Academic Conduct meetings with students. This is not uncommon for written work but highlights that students may need support with their academic writing. Please make sure you understand the Academic Conduct Rules and how to apply these in your assessments. The library have some fantastic resources on referencing and how to ensure you are not plagiarising others work. Please check out their online study skills resources here. The module blackboard sites have information specific to the assessment and usually there are formative opportunities to get feedback on your draft plans/assignments. Please use the guidance on turnitin. You should be aiming to submit to turnitin before the deadline so you can check your submission originality and amend/change/rewrite sections if they flag up on your originality report. You don't need to submit front sheets, references or appendices to turnitin as this usually inflates your score. Just submit the main body of your assignment. The library team are on hand to help proof read your work and you can also ask your Academic advisor for general support. Don't forget that academic writing and referencing is a skill and is really tricky to get right at first. Once you have it becomes much easier.
Here is a short video on how to paraphrase to help you avoid copying work or using too many direct quotations.
