Understanding of referencing and plagiarism
•
Exam and revision strategies
•
Understanding assessment and feedback
•
Presentation skills
•
Time management
The LDC also provides:
•
A Maths Centre, staffed by specialist tutors to support you across a range
of maths topics
•
Student Writing Mentors, available to develop your academic writing skills
•
An Open Study learning space
•
Group study rooms for practicing presentations and group work
If during your studies at Aston you have any academic
related concerns or questions, please come and see
either myself or one of my colleagues in the LDC.
You’ll find us on the First Floor of the library or check

the LDC Blackboard module.

For students who cannot always be on campus, tutorials can also be
