We are looking for students from any international background to participate in a one-hour workshop in January.
The workshop aims to identify the challenges and barriers that international students face when doing academic writing. We will use the outcomes to inform how we support students in the future.
The particular focus will be on good academic practice. This includes how you use source materials in essays and exams, referencing, paraphrasing and other factors.
We might discuss:
Different cultural expectations relating to good academic writing, referencing and authorship
Experiences of academic writing before coming to Exeter
Experience of learning about academic writing and academic practice at Exeter.
Who can participate?
Any student studying on a taught programme with international fee status
You can be from any phase of study (undergraduate or postgraduate)
We would particularly welcome participants who have been investigated for poor academic practice or academic misconduct in the past
There will be a ÂŁ10 voucher offered for participation

We are a research group at the University of Exeter who are working with the Solicitors Regulation Authority to examine the experiences of law students in legal education and how these experiences shape their career choices. We are looking for Exeter law university students to fill out an important and interesting online survey and share their experiences and viewpoints with us. This is a great opportunity for Exeter law students to have their say and contribute to positive change!
We need as many students as possible to take part regardless of their experiences and viewpoints so please do consider taking part if you have time. Everyone who completes the survey will be entered into a raffle to win one of 10 ÂŁ50 gift cards, and the survey will take 25-30 minutes to complete.
