The ability to write clearly and communicate a strong argument, in a well-structured and supported manner, is a skill that is vital throughout life. When you arrive at university lecturers will always talk about the importance of academic writing when completing assignments and although you may well have lots of skills already, there may be one or two that needs refreshing or is completely new to you. If there is anything that you\u2019re not sure about, I can help you out.&#8221;<\/em><\/h4>\n<h4><i>\u00a0<\/i><\/h4>\n<p>Each week I run a workshop that has been designed to help with an aspect of academic writing. The same workshop runs three times to allow you the chance to attend. You can drop in to any workshop you feel will benefit you. There is a maximum number and so it is first come, first served, so ensure you arrive on time. There are also three drop ins where you can get small group or one-to-one support on anything you feel you need help with. It is also possible to book one-to-one appointments if these times are not convenient. I also work with lecturers to design and deliver subject specific sessions so you may see me in one of your sessions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Workshops during Semester 1:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<table style=\"height: 403px\" width=\"815\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"93\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Day<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"93\">\n<p><strong>Time<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" width=\"83\">\n<p><strong>Session<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"158\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Location<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"93\">\n<p><strong>Monday<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"93\">\n<p>14.00-15.00<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"83\">\n<p>Drop in<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"158\">\n<p>Samuel Alexander S3.6<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"93\">\n<p><strong>Monday<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"93\">\n<p>17.00-18.00<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"83\">\n<p>Workshop<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"158\">\n<p>Mansfield Cooper 3.01<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"93\">\n<p><strong>Tuesday<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"93\">\n<p>15.00-16.00<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"83\">\n<p>Workshop<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"158\">\n<p>Zochonis B25<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"93\">\n<p><strong>Tuesday<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"93\">\n<p>17.00-18.00<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"83\">\n<p>Drop in<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"158\">\n<p>Samuel Alexander S3.6<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"93\">\n<p><strong>Wednesday<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"93\">\n<p>13.00-14.00<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"83\">\n<p>Drop in<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"158\">\n<p>Stephen Joseph G4<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"93\">\n<p><strong>Thursday<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"93\">\n<p>14.00-15.00<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"83\">\n<p>Workshop<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"158\">\n<p>Stephen Joseph 1.1<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>You can also book small group drop ins or one-to-one appointments (outside of these times) to discuss specific areas of academic writing, get feedback on your work, or discuss the feedback received from lecturers in more detail to allow action planning and further improvement.

I enjoy helping students to reframe perceived obstacles in learning as enjoyable challenges to be won; we wouldn\u2019t feel proud of ourselves for learning something if it was easy. Many students feel they lack confidence in their writing skills, or need guidance to understand the feedback from their assignments, and so are hugely relieved to discover that there is someone who is dedicated to helping them with this aspect of their degree.\u201d<\/em><\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>You can find out more information and sign up via Blackboard.

I work with lecturers to design and deliver subject specific sessions for their students. I also run a series of general writing workshops and provide one-to-one appointments for students who want to improve their academic performance.<\/p><p>The aspect of my job that I most enjoy is seeing students grow in confidence and ability as a result of attending workshops or meeting for one-to-one appointments. Many students can lack confidence in their writing skills, or need guidance to understand the feedback from their assignments and the steps they need to take to fulfil their academic potential.<\/p><p>Most students are hugely relieved to discover that there is someone in the School who is dedicated to helping them with this aspect of their degree. The ability to write clearly and communicate a strong argument in a well-structured and supported manner is a skill that is vital throughout life, and I thoroughly enjoy working with students to help them achieve this.\"<\/p><\/blockquote><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Individual appointments are also available for students to discuss their writing. Students should email Elizabeth Black directly: <a href=\"mailto:Elizabeth.black@manchester.ac.uk\">Elizabeth.black@manchester.ac.uk<\/a><\/p><p>You can find out more information and sign up via Blackboard.
