Adam Devine
Academic Skills Advisor
Academic Development Team
My role is focused on providing opportunities for all members of our university community to improve their academic skills.
Currently, I facilitate sessions such as:
- Individual appointments (in person/Microsoft Teams).
- In course skills sessions (predominately with the School of Health and Sports Sciences)
- Functional Skills English L2.
- Academic and Study Skills workshops (L3 - L7).
My teaching has been inspired by theories advocated by writers such as Freire, Ranciere, and Hook. I see my current role as someone who advocates inclusivity, action learning, self-efficacy.
