Face-to-face teaching is suspended.... But PDD support continues online! See our Moodle page for details about how we can still help you with your studies. And most importantly, stay safe everyone.

Short video by me on how to maybe use Bortons reflective model as a structure for reflective writing for academic purpose where your assignment brief may dictate you structure your writing using a model or framework! Find it on the @BCUPDD moodle @BCUHELS

Hi everyone, it’s been a busy few weeks, but we’re back. In our next Coffee with PDD video we discuss academic writing and transitioning to your next level. This week, we say treat yourself to a bit of Battenberg with a nice hot cuppa.

Hi everyone! It’s a “Twofer” this week. We were unable to make a video last week, so we have made 2 this week. In video 6 we revisit referencing, and video 7 we explore time management. Head over to PDD’s Moodle page. Our recommended sweet treat for this week is a cheesecake.

Any PGR students interested in a level 8 academic writing consult with myself or @DrJonPotter please have a look at @pdd moodle site for appointment slots, this is by no means extra supervision but just a little added support for writing at this amazing level 😀
