Description including Unit Aims

This unit aims to give students confidence in their reading by helping them to develop techniques for reading, thinking about, and writing about literary texts. It aims to help with the transition from school to university work by introducing some of the major ideas and themes relevant to study at this level. It also aims to aid students in developing skills they will need for successful completion of their degree e.g. use of the library; compilation of bibliographies; how to reference and footnote; how to construct an argument.
