EDUC-6514: Academic Writing Skills

This course has been developed to help students with their written assignments in English at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. Students who are not native speakers of English often find the written demands of their courses very challenging. Furthermore, their lecturers are often concerned by their lack of critical thinking skills, and also mention students’ failure to answer the specific question and their inability to develop answers logically.
