Description:

University tutors often tell students that they could have received a higher grade if they had shown more critical engagement in their writing. But what does this actually mean, and how can you ensure that you’re achieving this?

In this webinar, Diana Hopkins and Tom Reid will show you what criticality looks like in academic writing and walk you through a step-by-step approach to help you analyse and engage critically with your written assignments.

You will leave this event with the confidence and skills to avoid that type of feedback in the future, apply a critical lens in your own writing, and achieve higher marks.
