Study Skills: Getting your assignment started using apps & software

When:
Venue: Online

Book your place

In this workshop, we’ll be looking at what to do when you get your assignment question, how to interpret your assignment question or brief, and how you can use this to propel yourself into effective, focused research for your assignments. We’ll also cover apps and software that can help you through this process.

The suggested strategies will focus on some tools that are freely available on most computers and mobile devices, as well as offering some suggestions for low-cost apps. There are also options for students who would find it helpful to invest in more advanced software.

This online workshop will take place on a Blackboard Collaborate link within the Birkbeck Study Skills Moodle Module. It is intended for enrolled Birkbeck students only, and you will require your student login details to access the workshop.
