These weekly online taught sessions help you develop your academic writing skills. They will directly benefit the development of your assignments through practical writing activities which are geared to the module learning outcomes.
They happen at the same time each week in the online study room accessed through the module space in Blackboard. The dates and times for the sessions are listed below.
We encourage you to attend every session, therefore, please put all dates in your diary as soon as possible. If you are not able to attend a session, we will make a recording available for you in Blackboard to catch up later.
