The AWC: Student
Performance, Retention, and Employability
You are cordially invited to attend a seminar on the
subject of the Academic Writing Centre
and raising the standards of student writing at NUIG. The seminar will address the
connection between academic writing and student performance, their ability to
complete their chosen course of study, and their future career paths.
The Registrar, Prof. Pól Ó Dochartaigh, will open the seminar which will feature speakers from
diverse disciplines, including Science, Law, and Marketing and will also
include an open forum.
The seminar is an opportunity to cast a closer look
at the work of the AWC, a unit which has played a supportive role for thousands
of students since its establishment, in 2009. It is also an opportunity to
begin a conversation about such issues as plagiarism, originality, and the role
of writing in shaping graduate attributes
