Providing effective academic writing support
How can you cater for all students’ needs?
Recent studies show large numbers of students don’t ask for support with academic writing – either due to a lack of confidence or an inability to spot potential issues.1
This could mean around a third of your students won’t make use of academic writing support that requires interaction with a member of staff. And with tutors facing less contact with students than before, chances are that these students will retreat further still from this kind of support.
Removing the barriers
How do you remove barriers and give students appropriate opportunities to access timely support and feedback that could lead to them producing more effective assignments?
How do you ensure students unwilling to reach out for help don’t slip through the net and end up with low confidence, or worse still, leave education?
Our ‘Removing the barriers’ report pulls together findings from recent research around this issue and provides a checklist on how these issues can be addressed.
