Skills Days feedbackThe staff were very approachable and enormously patient, it was a great help to me in producing my 1st assignment which I have recently submitted.
To make this session frequent until students can use it effectively most especially for students coming from Africa.
It should be a more regular event.
Arrange many more sessions regularly. Busy students will make time in their schedules to attend.
Please can these sessions run more regularly ie once a month over perhaps two/three days.
The librarian is really helpful.
The library was very useful and it came at the right time.

Assignment Surgeries
• Started Autumn 2011• We needed some time that allowed students to
ask specific questions• They were always held in conjunction with Skills
for Learning and IT staff rather than the Library only.

Referencing surgery comments
Staff were really fantastic and helpful. They were very patient and willing to support me even through the silly little things that I am supposed to know. It was a good and very supportive session.
Referencing Surgeries are very helpful. Doesn’t matter which year you are in.
Very helpful surgery; has made me feel much more confident.
