These classes will highlight the common features of academic writing in English. To help with possible differences in writing styles and expectations:

• Each session focuses on one aspect of the writing process
• You will work with examples of academic writing
• You will develop skills to produce effective writing
• An opportunity for you to ask questions about writing
• A relaxed and supporting environment

The courses will be delivered on-campus and online. 

This in-sessional course has been designed for students doing an LLM in the Law Dept. Each weekly session focuses on writing sub-skills that are transferable to different LLM assessments. The course is especially tailored to meet the writing and language requirements of international law students. The classes are on campus only.

Classes may be available in the following semester.

These sessions are helpful if you are experiencing some challenges with your assignment tasks, or if you would like some general advice about your use of language. You will have up to an hour with an experienced tutor to discuss your concerns. This could include:

• Getting started with your writing assessments
• Help with aspects of planning and organising your writing 
• Citing skills (showing where you got information from)
• Reviewing or practicing a presentation
• Understanding your grades and feedback
• Or, you may have something else that you would like to discuss regarding your assignments or English language use.

. A tutor will then contact you to arrange a time to meet.

Please note: these sessions are not for proofreading assignments, but could review a paragraph for common errors. The advice we give focuses on supporting you with writing assessments in English. It is advice only which you may choose to accept or not. Tutors are not subject experts and cannot advise specifically about subject content. For that, you should contact your subject tutor.

1-2-1 sessions are limited to 3 per student per semester.

These sessions are helpful if you have a quick question about your writing. For example, you might be working on an assessment and find you are not sure about something such as:

• how to write something clearly
• your paragraph organisation
• academic style, grammar & vocabulary
• how to use citations (referencing)
• …or something else

You can just drop in and ask a tutor.

Please note that the time you have with a tutor may be limited, depending on the numbers of students looking for help.
