Martin Hampton
Martin Hampton is part of the Academic Skills team. Their purpose is to promote the development of the academic skills and literacies that students need to be successful at university level study.
Martin will be available for one-to-one sessions on Tuesday 18 December 2012 at the Christmas study school.
The best way to use such a session would be to bring one or more marked assignments where your marker has indicated that you could improve structure, use of sources (referencing), expression (including grammar and punctuation) or 'critical analysis'. Previous attendees have reported that they have been able to boost their marks after one-to-one advice on these kinds of issues.
