Workshops
The Mental Health Support Team also offers a wide range of workshops, which are bookable through their website here (http://www.counsellingservice.manchester.ac.uk/workshops/).
Critical analysis: a practical approach (online)
In this session you will use a model for critical analysis to inform your critical thinking and support your analysing of new information. The model will move you from observing a source to connecting it to your own knowledge, and guide you in critically examining the new knowledge in the context of what you already understand. We will have some examples to use on the day, but you are certainly welcome to bring a chapter, image or other item from within your own subject to practice with.

Show Up and Study! (on campus)
Show Up and Study brings students together to revise and prepare for upcoming assignments or exams. Not only does this guarantee you a calm revision space during this busy period, but the session also offers the opportunity to work quietly and independently in a supportive environment with other students. The session is facilitated by library team members and will run over two hours, with the opportunity to use various study resources to aid your work.
Booking on
