Hello all

 

I’m running  workshop shortly ‘what’s different about learning at university?’.  I’ve done a lecture along the same lines for a number of years, but never done it as a workshop.  I was going to frame one of the discussions around actions and activities that would be good practice for students 3 – 4 weeks into term.

 

The list below might be a bit basic, but I thought it might give students something to discuss.  I thought I’d throw it over to you fine folks.

 

Anyone feeling creative this afternoon?

 

Have I missed anything obvious?
