Getting Help

Please approach your lecturer in the first instance if you are worried about any aspect of the assessment. It is important not to leave it till the last minute – your lecturer will not be able to help you if you only raise issues within a few days of the deadline. If English is not your first language, you may ask an English-speaking friend to proofread your assignment for you (if you have written it yourself). There is also help available from the Centre for Academic English. 

We will endeavour to assist students who suffer any form of disability: sight, hearing, mobility etc., including specific learning disabilities such as dyslexia. More information can be found on our Disability Support and Reasonable Adjustments page. Students suffering from any type of disability are also encouraged to make themselves known to the lecturer. Alternatively, you may contact the Centre’s disability officer, Ms Áine Dillon. If you wish to record classes, please ask the permission of the lecturer beforehand.

We hope you will enjoy your Humanities and Social Sciences module and that it will be problem-free. However, if you have any concerns, you are advised to seek the help of the individual lecturer concerned without delay. If you are reluctant to approach your lecturer directly, please contact the Field Leader for Humanities and Social Sciences, Dr Michael Weatherburn.
