LSE LIFE Study Advisers
LSE LIFE study advisers are available to talk with you about key skills like reading, making notes, essay writing, research, exam revision, managing your time and other study-related matters.
Appointments can be booked via the Student Hub, and are available Monday - Friday, 10am - 6pm (London Time, GMT +1). We currently offer sessions online, via Microsoft Teams, and on campus in LSE LIFE Workspace 1.
Bookings open one week in advance and we're currently offering about 30 appointments every day. If you find no appointments available to book in the coming week, or if you have difficulties making use of this resource, please contact us by email at lselife@lse.ac.uk, or stop by the LSE LIFE reception on the ground floor of the Library. If there has been a cancellation, we are sometimes able to arrange a short meeting on the same day where you can check in with a study adviser with a quick question.
LSE LIFE does not provide proofreading services. We can talk with you about how you can learn to proofread your own work better, though! The Language Centre offers a paid proofreading service, as do other service providers.
LSE LIFE is just one part of the wide range of support you can find at LSE. Explore this guide to support around health, wellbeing, and more.
LSE100 Event Analysis project support sessions
Book a one-to-one appointment with an LSE LIFE study adviser to get support with the LSE100 Event Analysis that you'll be submitting later this term. Book the session at https://portal.lse.ac.uk/s/schedule-appointment?dept=life In an LSE LIFE x LSE100 one-to-one, you can discuss many different aspects of your work on your Event Analysis. Together with the LSE LIFE study adviser, you can
- share an outline of what you're planning to write,
- show and discuss some draft text,
- talk through your ideas for the assessment,
- consider ways to organise your work and your time to meet your deadline,
- interpret your Turnitin report and use it to improve your writing, or
- simply have a chat about your approach to this first assessment.
*Remember, you don't need to bring a completed piece of work to benefit from a one-to-one appointment!
The LSE LIFE Study Advisers will be familiar with the requirements of this assignment and with what your markers might be looking for. However, they will not advise you or answer specific questions on the content of your course. For content-related questions, you should see your LSE100 teacher during their drop-in hours.
