Signposting and support for international students: development of a key departmental role

Mark Heslop, Xi Liu, Juliane Thamm, Felicity Carlysle-Davies

Research output: Contribution to conference › Presentation/Speech › peer-review

Abstract

We can all think of situations in which we are asked a question, the answer of which we cannot be sure. We then spend lots of time thinking before giving an answer that may not be complete or even correct. Our time is not being put to the best use, and the questioner is none the wiser. How much better if we can direct that person to someone with specialist knowledge who does know the answer, or who knows the right person to ask. This same principle can apply to support for international students.
