In our most recent session, the 1st Years and Mentors combined to put together a map of how to approach assessment writing. We covered planning, structure, referencing, proof reading and feedback to summarise the best advice for each respective discipline in HaSS. Our mentors found the exercise just as useful as the 1st Years, reflecting on their previous submissions and thinking about how to improve future assessments. We looked at a number of resources available on campus to aid the assessment writing process – you can see the list of these of the HaSS Peer Support ELE page.
Next week’s session (Wednesday 16th November) all are invited to take part in a writing café, where we will be incorporating the pomodoro technique to provide some focus to the writing process. Our mentors will be on hand to engage in discussion in between the writing periods, so if you have any questions for them or need an hour to properly focus on your work with minimal interruptions, please do come along!

Are you someone who enjoys getting involved, or who wants to help other students feel part of their university? Maybe you really love your subject and want to work with other Reps and staff to explore how to engage students more. You don’t have to be the most confident or outgoing person to be a Rep; you just need to have an interest in creating a really great student experience.
Course Reps are vital in making sure the student voice is heard at every level of the University decision making process! Every course year group has a Course Rep, elected by their peers, who will gather your feedback and work with course leaders to ensure your voice is listened to, valued and acted upon. Reps work in partnership with the Students’ Union, the University and the students to make sure the University environment is constantly evolving and shaping in response to your feedback.
We have a number of roles for all years across the HaSS Department. If you want to make a change and represent your peers, contact Charlie (Charlie.Atkinson@thesu.org.uk) to find out more!
