Feedback from a Writing Coach

What can a Writing Coach do?

Sample Page

Within your School postgraduate students have been trained to help you develop your academic writing skills. They are able to comment on a draft of your assignment before you hand it in.

Coaches can help you think about four main elements of your writing.

  1. Answering the Question
    Have you answered the question?
  2. Organisation
    Is there a clear introduction and conclusion?
    Are there clear paragraphs and links between paragraphs?
  3. Use of Evidence and Argument
    Have you got a clear argument?
    Is it backed up by evidence?
    Is it referenced correctly?
  4. Style
    Have you used appropriate vocabulary / register?
    Do you need to proof-read for typos in grammar and spelling?
