Writing Help and Guidance
The University of Lincoln Library website has many things that you can look into that will help you start your dissertation journey.
One of the most helpful is the Academic Writing Skills support that aims to help you with:
- One-to-one writing skills
- Exams and revision
- Editing and proof-reading
- Students with dyslexia
- Critical thinking
Before you book an appointment it’s important to know that they cannot proofread your work, but you can send a draft in and they can talk you through the process of how to do this yourself.
If you run into problems, try to not let them get too big or leave them too long, seek advice whether it’s just a quick email or setting up a meeting with your supervisor.

Research support
Your Academic Subject Librarian can help you find (and use) information but also help with referencing and study skills. They can help you find books that you are struggling to find by searching for something you may not have thought of.
Email library@lincoln.ac.uk if you want to book an appointment.
Use all the support that is set up by your course/school to guide you in this module – you’ll need to understand the major steps and deadlines making sure the process is clear and there are no nasty surprises.
