Academic Core Concepts

Welcome to Academic Core Concepts. As a mature student who entered academia in my 40's i had to suddenly try & work my way through all the basics again & my school days were way behind me. What i experienced was that i wasn't alone & those coming from high school & college were experiencing the exact same problems

The huge gap that I identified is that no one really knows how to do Academic reading, writing, how to research take appropriate notes & create essay plans, & then then finally the dreaded referencing!! Trust me I've been there & have felt your pain

I speak from a place of experience having gained my Ba Hons in Criminology with full As in all my essays & my final dissertation & I'm currently a senior Criminology Academic researcher so i have been where you are & can guide you through all the basics

Regardless of what you are studying the basics are the same for everyone you need to learn the core concepts which are the foundational building blocks to your academic journey
