I can help you with:-
Type of Appointment:
Discussion Appointments: Done via Teams, these appointments are for you to discuss any areas you feel you might need support in e.g. finding resources, academic writing and more!
Read and Review Appointments: Done via email, you don't even need to attend! Attach your draft assignments, let us know what areas need looking at and wait for the review comments to support and guide you to a better grade.
Just referencing: Got a quick query about what goes where? Use the "Just Referencing" option to get an answer from one of the team.
Appointments are available Monday to Friday between 9.00am and 5.00pm.
Several lengths of appointment are available. Standard appointments are 30 minutes. If it is your first appointment, or you feel you need more time, you may book an Extended appointment which will provide an hour's personal tuition. Quick discussions of 15 minutes are also available.

Referencing is a system used in assignments to indicate where ideas, theories, quotes, facts and any other evidence you have used to support your assignments can be found. It is important that you learn to cite your sources correctly within your assignments.
In your subject area you use Harvard Referencing style.
The Cite Them Right Online tool is a great resource to help you get to grips with correct referencing.
The Academic Skills team can help you with some of the key digital tools you will use.
Other digital support will be provided by your subject tutors but the university links below cover some essentials:
