Graduate Student Week, 10-14 September 2012

Graduate Student Week at UQ from the 10-14 September, with an intensive program of skills training presentations, workshops and networking sessions.

Topics include:

Assignment help

Now that you have an idea of your assignments for this semester, you might like to check out some resources for assignment help.

The library has an online tutorial for assignment help for each stage of the assignment research process.

Student Services have extensive online tips on assignment writing.

Try 'Grammarly' for help with your writing

For a limited time, the University is trialling 'Grammarly', an automated grammar and plagiarism checker.

Once you register with the site, you can upload a document to be checked. You can also download a Microsoft Office add-in, which will then appear as a toolbar in Word.

With both methods, you need to be online to sign in and get the feedback report.

For more information and links, go to http://student.eait.uq.edu.au/software/grammarly/.
