1. Plan ahead. The planning your assignments theme on the study skills portal will help you to understand your assignment brief and plan and organise your work. 
2. Read widely. The reading section has lots of advice to help you find the best sources to read, and to read them actively and critically.
3. Learn to reference. Look at the sections on referencing and understanding your referencing style, for practical guidance to help you to reference accurately. 
4. Manage your time. Find some tips and helpful tools to help you stay on track in our time management theme.
5. Look after yourself! The wellbeing theme will help you develop a self-care plan to look after your physical and mental health while you are studying.
