If you are new to qualitative research or if you want some initial help to engage with the materials appropriately, then this webinar programme is for you. Doing Qualitative Research is a free curated resource we developed that takes researchers through the whole research cycle, not just the analysis. There is a heavy emphasis on what it is like to 'do' qualitative research in a robust, ethical and professional manner, with practical exercises and reflexive tasks suggested throughout. We are running two, one-hour webinars together with asynchronous, self-directed engagement with the course materials, to help a peer-group of researchers work through the resources on the parts of the qualitative research process they need help with. We understand that not everyone needs to cover the same materials and concepts, or at the same pace. In the first station, discussion with your peers and the facilitator, will help you choose which parts of the Doing Qualitative Research course to focus on before the second webinar. The concluding webinar uses group work and discussion for you to additionally practice one of the most important aspects of the qualitative research paradigm; reflexivity. You will identify what you have learned and how this affects what you will do next with your learning and research. The webinars are facilitated by our Qualitative Research Specialist Dr Cathy Gibbons. Cathy has almost 20 years' experience of teaching qualitative methods across a wide spectrum of disciplines within and beyond the social sciences. The session is free, and runs as two 2hr sessions, 2 weeks apart.

Keeping Yourself in Mind: An ACT-informed programme for people supporting a family member with JHD We are pleased to invite you to our virtual course for parents and family carers of people living with Juvenile Huntington’s disease. The course will be run by Sarah Gunn, a clinical psychologist and researcher at the University of Leicester, and will be based on the principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is a therapeutic approach which focuses on learning to manage difficult thoughts and feelings, and to live a life which feels valuable and meaningful despite the struggles we encounter. This is an opportunity to explore the difficulties that can be associated with caring for a person with JHD (for you and within the family), to identify the values that matter most to you, and for you to think about how to move towards a more rich and valued life than you may have now. This is an eight-week course running from Wednesday 7 February to Wednesday 27 March 2024. The sessions will be on a Wednesday afternoon 1-2.30pm. Here is a very brief session outline: Week 1: Introductions: To ACT, to the programme, and to each other Week 2: Impacts of Juvenile Huntington’s on the “carer”* and wider family Week 3: Psychological wellbeing when supporting a person with Juvenile Huntington’s Week 4: Coping and adjustment: Living with, not battling against Week 5: What matters to you: Finding your values Week 6: Moving forward: Taking steps to align with your values Week 7: Living a valued life alongside Huntington’s: Plans and coping strategies Week 8: Reflection and ending: What’s next? *Note: Some people don’t like this term, so here we’re using it in quote marks.

With the prevalence of information readily available online, ensuring that your work is original can be challenging. This is where tools like a Plagiarism Checker come into play, offering invaluable assistance to students, researchers, and educators alike. These tools not only help in maintaining the authenticity of academic work but also bolster the credibility of the individual behind it. In this article, we'll explore the multifaceted role of plagiarism checker tools in academia, from essays to research papers. Understanding Plagiarism Definition of Plagiarism Plagiarism is the act of using someone else’s words, ideas, or expressions without proper acknowledgement. It’s a serious offence in academic and professional settings, leading to consequences ranging from loss of credibility to legal repercussions. Types of Plagiarism in Academic Writing Direct Plagiarism: Copying text verbatim without citation. Self-Plagiarism: Reusing one's previous work without acknowledgement. Mosaic Plagiarism: Borrowing phrases from a source without using quotation marks. Accidental Plagiarism: Unintentional failure to cite sources properly. Challenges Faced in Academic Writing Common Issues in Essay Writing Writing essays involves synthesizing information from various sources while presenting it in a unique voice. Common issues include unintentional plagiarism, inadequate citation, and difficulty in integrating sources seamlessly. Research Papers and Their Complexities Research papers require in-depth analysis, original research, and a comprehensive understanding of existing literature. Challenges include properly crediting sources, avoiding plagiarism, and maintaining originality. The Role of Plagiarism Checker Tools What is a Plagiarism Checker? A plagiarism checker is a tool designed to detect similarities between submitted text and existing content in its database. It scans documents and highlights matching phrases, helping users identify potential plagiarism. How Plagiarism Checkers Work Plagiarism checkers compare the text against a vast database of published works, websites, and academic papers. They use algorithms to detect similarities and provide a report detailing any matches found, indicating the percentage of copied content. Benefits of Using Plagiarism Checker Tools Ensuring Originality Plagiarism checker tools ensure that your work is original by detecting any unintentional copying from other sources. This helps in producing authentic and unique content. Enhancing Academic Credibility By verifying the originality of your work, plagiarism checkers enhance your academic credibility, demonstrating a commitment to integrity and scholarly excellence.
