Speaker: Ed Watson
Hi, my name is Ed Watson and I'm an instructional support specialist in the Office of Academic Support and Instructional Services, also known as OASIS. In OASIS, we provide services and resources to help you succeed during your academic journey.
Let's hear from our students about their favorite OASIS services and resources.
Speaker: Taylor
Hi, my name is Taylor and I am currently working toward a PhD in Forensic Psychology. My favorite OASIS service is the OASIS Live Just Right sessions. These sessions provide a space to write independently among peers while seeing accountable to your goals.
For capstone specific Just Right sessions, you can even get expert guidance about doctoral capstone writing questions. I recommend this service to anyone who wants to feel connected to the Walden community.
Speaker: Amber
Hello, my name is Amber and I'm pursuing my doctorate in forensic psychology. My favorite resource is Ask OASIS. Ask OASIS helped me find a tailored resource to support my academic needs. As a student, I frequently seek help improving my writing, conducting in depth library research, and enhancing my critical thinking skills. It's really reassuring to have a comprehensive resource that helped me stay on track towards my goals.
Speaker: Nabila
Hello, my name is Nabila and I'm pursuing doctoral degree in Industrial Organizational Psychology here at Walden University. My favorite OASIS service is the Paper Review Service because I can get my writing reviewed by a team of highly educated writing experts. From personal experience, I have used the Paper Review Service for help with my prospectus form. The team’s insight and help were phenomenal and their positive feedback motivated me to keep moving forward.
