The Library is running a week of workshops from the 6th-10th of June aimed at students who will be starting a dissertation or major project next year or post graduate students doing a dissertation over the summer.

All workshops are in the Info Skills Room (lower floor of Murray Library) and are open to book now: http://uniofsunlib-skills.eventbrite.com

The Library produces a range of quick checklists as part of it’s collection of Skills for Learning resources to make getting through your revision less daunting - the “doing well in exams” hand out might help avoid some common pitfalls this exam season...

The library is here to help this exam time - we can offer a range of online support to help you through your revision. Take a look at our Skills for Learning area also available through sunspace for online guides, tutorials and step by step resources.

There’s a section dedicated to revision and exam preparation with advice about doing well in exams and common pitfalls and you can construct your very own seven point action plan to tackle your revision...

Starting to stress about your assignment deadlines? Getting confused about the terminology that tutors are using? Don’t worry, you are not alone! To help you with your studies, we have created some very helpful guides to help you through these testing times and support you in your continuing learning.

The Skills for Learning section on the library webpage is a collection of resources designed to support the teaching and learning of academic skills.

This collection offers you some suggestions and tips to help you get organised and managing your time, note-taking and evaluating information. You will also find strategies to enable you to further your understanding of your reading of the academic literature and tips to help you understand your assignment as well as guidance on understanding different writing styles, reviewing the literature, editing and proofreading your own work.

If you’re feeling a bit overwhelmed and don’t know where to start, you could try reading this section first.

This is just one section of the whole Skills for Learning package and is there for you to make the most of throughout your studies. You can dip in and out of the sections as and when they are more relevant to you.
