Things to do before handing in your assignment workshop

Attend the Things to do before you hand in your assignment workshop with plenty of time before your hand in-date. If you miss the workshop, you can watch the video of its content (see the box below).

The workshop covers the main issues that students receive feedback about, and offers hints and tips that can be used to develop these areas positively. There is an opportunity to create a personal action plan throughout the session so you can identify what you need to focus on and which resources will help you develop specific skills.
