In this episode Alex is joined by Francoise McKay to talk about assignment writing.  Fran recently completed a masters on higher education policy which included a 20,000 word critical dissertation. Fran currently works for the Student and Graduate Experience Team at the University of Derby.  Alex and Fran discuss, paragraph structure, critical thinking, creating flow and general advice for writing assignments.    Their advice is supported with the voices of students, through student interviews and social media responses.     The Assignment Journey is a series of podcasts outlining the journey of an assignment, from when you first receive it, to when it is submitted.   In each episode Alex from the University of Derby Skills Team (or at least when Alex is well), is joined by special guests from the University who share their specialist advice on each area.   For more information on research see our research skills guide;  https://libguides.derby.ac.uk/academicwriting   To see a calendar of workshops and drop ins follow this link; https://libcal.derby.ac.uk/calendar/events/   Follow us on social media:  Instagram: @derbyunilibrary  Twittter: @derbyunilibrary   Interested in studying at the University of Derby?
