In this session we’ll look at how to make sure your academic writing style is working for you. Your markers won’t be expecting a perfect document, but it’s a good idea to work out in advance if there’s anything likely to cause you problems. We’ll look at how to use your feedback to identify areas to work on, and where to go for more in-depth advice, as well as formulating a personalised list of things to check for before you submit.
