Learning Guides
The Writing Centre has developed a range of Learning Guides to enhance the student experience by making clear what academic learning and language skills are expected at the tertiary level. These free practical guides provide advice on and examples of, avoiding plagiarism, editing your own work and exam preparation, to name but a few.
Download a Learning Guide below. If you have further questions, students are encouraged to drop in to the Writing Centre and/or the Workshops which are thematically linked to the guides. All services are free to students currently enrolled at the University of Adelaide.
