First Year Academic Skills Support - Tell us what you think?
Do your first year
students lack the academic skills needed for success at University?
Do you know of the
supports available in NUI Galway to help students develop those skills?
There is an opinion widely held, that students entering
third level education from secondary school are not well prepared for the needs
of higher education and do not have the core academic skills they need. The provision of support for academic skills
development is recognised as a key factor in student engagement and retention,
particularly in first year. NUI Galway
has a range of different services that provide support for these academic
skills, e.g. :
·
Skills4Study Campus (online module available via
Blackboard)
·
The Academic Writing Centre
·
SUMS: Mathematics drop-in support centre
·
Information skills support via the subject
librarian team
·
etc.
Academic staff, please complete our survey and tell us what
you think about the skills supports needed and available at NUI Galway for
first year students.
