Assessing your academic 
skills

• Take good notes 
• Taking part in group work 
• Giving presentations 
• Reading academic tests (High value parts) 
• Finding information to include in my own writing 
(Reference lists) 
• Writing essays (Read & Imitate) 
• Summarising what I have read 
• Learning academic vocabulary (passive→active)
How can you improve your 
weaknesses?
• If you arrive late to a lecture, you shouldn’t enter 
the room. 
• If your mobile phone goes off in class, you should 
go out of the room to answer it. 
• If your lecturer says something you don’t 
understand, you should ask them to explain.
• You will get all the information you need 
yo pass exams in the course lectures, so 
you only need to do extra reading if you 
are aiming for excellent marks. 
• Textbooks are written by experts so you 
can accept what you read in them as true. 
• If you are having difficulties writing an 
essay, you should go to your tutor for 
help.
• To help you understand what is needed 
in academic writing, you should look at the 
texts (e.g.Essays, dissertations) of past 
students. 
• You will get good marks for an essay if 
you can show you support your tutor’s 
opinion on the subject.

culture rules?
