We offer individual consultations with a learning advisor to discuss a specific assignment, as well as workshops, seminars, lectures, and online resources on critical thinking and writing in the university context — everything from the correct use of semi-colons to creating a citations list, to subject-specific styles of discourse.
Our consultations and quick queries can be through either Zoom or in-person.
To contact us, you can visit us at the Academic Skills Centre on level 3 of the Puaka-James Hight (Central Library), phone us on 03 369 3900, or send an email to academicskills@canterbury.ac.nz with some dates/times you are available, the course code, and what you would like to focus on.
