Workshops
The Counselling and Mental Health Service also offers a wide range of workshops, which are bookable through their website here (http://www.counsellingservice.manchester.ac.uk/workshops/).
Generating and Communicating Ideas (on campus)
Do you often feel limited by the assessment formats you work with? Have you got ideas from your learning and research but are finding it challenging to communicate these?
In this session, you will have the opportunity to reflect on the different assessment formats and ways of working that have or havent worked for you. This includes but is not limited to written, visual, audible and immersive mediums. You will get to explore why these have or havent worked for you and as a result, look at new and existing ways that you can work with in your assessments and studies going forwards. You will also have the opportunity to practise some of the different techniques discussed in the workshop and think about how you can implement these in your own studies.
Attendees of this workshop may want to bring a digital device such as a laptop or smartphone to use for the activities, though this is not essential. Laptops will also be provided.

Academic writing: using references to support your writing (on campus)
This workshop will focus on how to reference sources in your writing. We will consider different ways of incorporating the work of others into your writing including using quotations, summarising and paraphrasing. We will also discuss how to find the right balance between the work of others (references and data), and your own voice in your academic writing by adding in your own analysis and connecting your ideas to your main argument in order to answer the assignment question.

Academic writing: how to plan and develop a structure through analysis (on campus)
This session focuses on the development of ideas and the creation of connections between ideas and sources to produce a strong structure for written assignments. It works through a method of breaking down the question as an approach to planning a structured response. There will be the opportunity to work in groups to practise this, creating a response to a choice of assignments.

Reflective writing: how to write critically about your learning experience (on campus)
This workshop will give you practical experience of producing a piece of reflective writing, taking you through one possible model of reflective writing (Gibbs 1998). In the session you will learn about the conventions of reflective writing and how it differs from academic essay writing, before having the chance to write a draft of several key elements of a reflective writing piece, working with and receiving feedback from others in the group.
