Assignments and study skills help

Welcome to the Academic Language and Learning Success Program (ALLSP).

Our team is here to support your academic development at Charles Darwin University (CDU).

Study smarter

Make use of our FREE services to gain the skills you need to:

• study effectively
• express yourself better in writing
• produce academically appropriate work (essays, reports, journal articles, research papers).

Our services

Academic Language and Learning Success Program (ALLSP) offers a range of free workshops aimed at developing the academic skills needed to succeed in university studies at both the undergraduate and postgraduate level. These are presented on campus and online.

We also provide a range of online resources, including archived recordings of workshops and workshop materials.

We encourage students to attend at least one ALLSP workshop that concentrates on the academic skill they wish to learn about and improve on before seeking appointments for individual assistance on their assignments.

NOTE: Our services DO NOT include editing or proofreading of content or for grammar and spelling errors. However, we can look at ONE paragraph of your work with you and teach you how to edit and proofread. You are then expected to apply what you learn in that session to the rest of your essay. It is important that you learn how to edit and proofread your work yourself.

Who we support

CDU internal, external, international and domestic students, undergraduates and postgraduates.

We also work with CDU lecturers and tutors.
