Study Skills

Assessment

Our priority is to deliver 30 + hours of taught skills. Taught skills are the skills needed for our students to succeed in completing an independent research project and in their further education. We prioritise skills that we know students struggle with - time management, the acquisition of research, referencing and critical thinking are continually revisited. Taught Skills are taught by a range of specialists including internal and external experts. All students will visit a library, museum and a university as part of this course. The independent research project will consist of a 5,000 word written report or artefact, a reflection journal and presentation. All students will be assigned a non-specialist supervisor in order to guide them through the process.
