ASK Advisers
Our departmental ASK Advisers
Sometimes you have a quick query that might best be answered by someone within your department - but you don't want to bother your tutor with it. You might want to know how to format a reference for a particular resource used only in your discipline - or what a particular term used in your subject means. In semester time, you may be able to consult an ASK Adviser.
ASK stands for Academic Skills and Know-how. ASK Advisers are postgraduate research students in your department who are trained and mentored by the Study Advice team. Like Study Advisers, they can't proof read your work, or give you specific answers to your assignments. But they do have local experience of how things work in your department, and are uniquely placed to give you advice based on their knowledge and experience. And if your query is beyond their scope, they'll suggest the best person for you to contact, whether that's your tutor, a Study Adviser, or a librarian.
Currently there are ASK Advisers in the following departments:

Economics - Alexander Mihailov
Drop-in hours: Thursday 10:00-11:30, Friday 12:00-13.30 at Edith Morley 317
