LRC Survey

As the end of term is on the horizon, we are looking to find out about your experiences this academic year of the Learning Resource Centre.

We would really appreciate it if you could spare 5 minutes to complete a short survey about the Learning Resource Centre to help us make improvements to the resources and services provided.

The survey can be found under the MyPod tab on Moodle, entitled LRC Survey – see image below (you will need to log into Moodle first to access this). 



Many thanks in advance for helping us with this.

Back Up Your Work

It's that time of year again when you need to start thinking about backing up all your student work that is currently stored on your Z:Drive/Subject Drives.

You should back up your work to a USB memory device (which can be purchased from the LRC) or ideally onto OneDrive (within your email account). We recommend saving work to your OneDrive account as it is far more reliable that any external memory devices and is accessible wherever you have an internet connection.  

All files stored on your Z;Drive/Subject Drive (i.e., Student Language Collaboration; A2 Computing: Art: Student Council, etc.....) will be deleted by the end of July 2014!
 
So don't delay - back up your work today!!

New Term & Time to Get Revising

Welcome back to the new and final term of the academic year.

By now you should have all received your final print credit top up which should hopefully see you through to the end.  However, I have noticed a lot of you printing loads of practice exam papers, so if you do need more credit, don't despair - you can pay for further credit and can put as little as 10p on, if you need it.

So what is coming up this term - well, it's exam time so make the most of the LRC for your revision.  We have just created a new display that provides lots of revision tips and advice, useful resources and details of the all important exam timetable.

Normal opening hours have resumed so you can carry on studying until 5.15pm on Mondays, Tuesday and Thursdays.

If you have any problems finding the right resource for your studies - please make use of the friendly LRC staff who will be happy to point you in the right direction!

Wishing you all lots of luck for your forthcoming exams and coursework deadlines!
