Hi everyone
I’m after a bit of guidance/interesting articles/good practice here.
A colleague and I have decided to experiment with an open space/workshop during Term 1 to get first and second year students together,
the context being to kick start their respective research projects. It is though also to enable the first years to meet with older students and get a feel for how the course “works” in general, partly to enhance engagement and retention of first year students,
partly to involve the 2nd years in peer mentoring - and it is in response to some suggestions which have emerged from the students themselves.
Has anyone done/is currently doing something similar? Do you know of any research in this area?
At present this is a one off but I am interested in ways we could build this into the course.
Thanks in anticipation
J
