Student Learning Service

In-course Workshops

We are pleased to collaborate with Academic Staff who wish to increase the learning strategies provision within their courses. In-course workshops can include but are not limited to:

• Critical thinking
• Academic writing
• Presentation skills

If you would like to discuss these and/or any other topics, please contact us at sls@abdn.ac.uk.

How we work with students in individual Study Advice Sessions

All Study Advice Sessions are confidential unless the student elects otherwise. When working on academic writing with undergraduate and taught postgraduate students, we only look at marked work. We go through feedback carefully with the student in order to devise strategies for future writing. In advance of submission of assignments we give general advice on research and structure but will not edit or proof-read text.

We are happy for you to recommend our Learning Strategies Workshops or individual Study Advice Sessions to students. Please note, however, that students cannot be compelled to access our service.
