Learning Skills appointments

Learning skills appointments are up to 50 minutes one-on-one or small-group sessions available to students who are experiencing difficulty with the tertiary literacy and/or learning requirements of their studies. These appointments are free and confidential.

In working with you in a learning skills appointment, we will help you:

  • Determine where you are going wrong with your academic reading and/or writing
  • Address particular issues, questions, or concerns related to tertiary literacy and learning
  • Identify resources that are available to support your independent learning and how to access them
  • Understand how to improve your work based on specific feedback that you have received on assignments

In working with you in a learning skills appointment, we will not:

  • Proofread your assignments
  • Provide feedback on the subject-specific content of your work
  • Write your work for you
  • Meet with you more than once for a particular assignment

One of the key aims of these sessions is to assist you in becoming an independent, self-directed learner. With this in mind, appointments are limited to four per semester for any one student, except with the approval of Learning Skills Advisers.
