Hi,
I'm looking at improving our study skills lessons for our Post-16 students and would like to hear from anyone working with students in HE. I would like to know if you think there are particular IL skills which new students lack when they start their courses.
At the moment the sessions are quite limited and cover:
How to navigate the OPAC;
How to access our online subscriptions;
Basic online searching (how to research without just using Google);
Evaluating a source;
Plagiarism;
Writing a Bibliography.
It would be helpful if I could tailor the sessions to skills that they are going to need after Sixth Form and give them a head start. Please let me know if you think there is anything your new students *SHOULD* know when they start in HE.
Many thanks,
