Resources to support students develop Academic Writing Skills

The Flying Start project has been a two year inter-institutional and cross sector project designed to find and evaluate ways of easing transitions in academic writing that students must negotiate if they are to be successful studying at degree level. The Flying Start website offers useful resources for both staff and students.

The final report is now available; please see the HEA website:http://www.heacademy.ac.uk/assets/documents/ntfs/projects/Liverpool_Hope.pdf
