Recap of previous taught sessions

This update will be a summary of some of the skills I have learnt in my previous taught sessions:

Time Management:
In this session we learnt about ways of effectively managing our time by removing distractions and planning our work realistically.

Referencing and Plagiarism:
We learnt about why referencing is important in essays, when to reference and various methods of referencing such as the Harvard System. We also completed various activities on a tutorial about referencing from the Leeds University website.
We also learnt about the importance of wording sentences in our essay correctly and when to quote sources directly so we don't accidentally plagiarise.

Primary and Secondary Data:
In this sessions we learnt the difference between primary and secondary data and the benefits of using both when conducting research. We also learnt about what criteria to consider to when collecting primary data, and when it is suitable to use primary data.

Coherence When Writing:
We covered basic knowledge about the spelling and grammar, language and style we use when we write our essays.
