Critical reading: Making connections while you read (on campus)
In this session, you will learn about what it means to read critically in the context of your studies. You will practice critical reading strategies and learn how to extract key information. You will make connections between sources and develop your analytical and evaluative skills, so that you will be able to select the most useful sources for your purpose. Youll also discover tips on how to aid comprehension and note-taking. Finally, you will reflect on your critical reading skills and how to apply them in future.

Generating and Communicating Ideas (on campus)
Do you often feel limited by the assessment formats you work with? Have you got ideas from your learning and research but are finding it challenging to communicate these?
In this session, you will have the opportunity to reflect on the different assessment formats and ways of working that have or havent worked for you. This includes but is not limited to written, visual, audible and immersive mediums. You will get to explore why these have or havent worked for you and as a result, look at new and existing ways that you can work with in your assessments and studies going forwards. You will also have the opportunity to practise some of the different techniques discussed in the workshop and think about how you can implement these in your own studies.
Attendees of this workshop may want to bring a digital device such as a laptop or smartphone to use for the activities, though this is not essential. Laptops will also be provided.
