An understanding of the various ways in which we as individuals learn, as well as how university teaching design draws upon these ideas can be extremely useful during your university study both as a means of developing the effectiveness of your independent study and recognising the different approaches to teaching you will encounter in lectures and seminars.
Whether they are held face-to-face or online, attending lectures, seminars and other forms of synchronous (e.g. real-time group based) learning sessions is an essential component of undergraduate university study. As well as providing essential opportunities for you to engage in valuable social learning experiences, your course contact time will map out the core knowledge, highlight the important academic debates and introduce the essential sources that define academic understanding of your subject area. Discover what you can expect and how you can make the most of the learning opportunities they offer in this workshop.
