💬 Hear from Previous Attendees
"I thought all 3 sessions were hugely valuable. The first session was a great intro with handy and practical tips, The session on finding the evidence was brilliant - presented in an easy and non-threatening way, it made literature searching fun! The final session on critical reading for assignments was practical and insightful, and I wish I had been familiar with this when I did my degree 25 years ago."
"Beth explains things in a really engaging way and I felt less apprehensive about my upcoming studies."
"I really enjoyed the sessions and found them very useful and informative. I would recommend them."
