The Writing Pad
The Centre for Higher Education Research & Practice has recently called for the creation of “engaging spaces” and “active learning” experiences for students.
The newly-established Writing Pad on the Coleraine campus (upstairs in U-Block) answers this call, offering a casual, inviting space for students to develop their academic writing skills through a friendly conversation with a peer. It's a place where students who who have trained as peer tutors can help their fellow students with any written assignment and any aspect of the writing process, from brainstorming ideas to structuring an effective argument to catching frequently committed errors. If you are stressed about an essay or report, or want to bounce some ideas off a fellow student, come up and see us!
