Until today, first-year undergraduates have had one appointment per semester. We’re pleased to announce that this limit has been raised to two appointments per semester. UG2-4 and PG students can continue to book two appointments per month.

First-year writing appointments
The PPLS Skills Centre has a new offering for first-year undergraduates. Traditionally, we’ve been focused on helping students in years 2 and up, but in 2021/22 we will provide one writing appointment per semester to students taking our first-year courses as well. You can use your appointment to discuss any essay you are writing for the following courses:
Semester 1
- Introduction to Cognitive Science
- Linguistics and English Language 1A
- Morality and Value
- Philosophy of Science 1
- Psychology 1A
Semester 2
- Greats: From Plato to the Enlightenment
- Linguistics and English Language 1B
- Psychology 1B
We won’t proofread your work or help you with content. Rather, our goal is to help you communicate more effectively. We will let you know if parts of your writing are confusing for your readers and will work with you on finding ways to make things better.
