Approaching Difficult Study Material Find more general sources to lead you in Check your lecture notes Form a study group Pool your reading Explain things to each other Ask your tutor Ask in the relevant libraries (specialist librarians can advise)

Why go to lectures? Provide a frame of reference Good introduction to the topic Give clues as to what is important for essays and exams Focus on aims of modules

Taking Notes Familiarise yourself with the topic before the lecture Is there a handout? It might be easier to annotate that Are handouts available through AberLearn Blackboard? Develop a personal shorthand Go over your notes afterwards Correct errors and illegibility Add more detail Mindmaps may help Have a system for organising and filing your notes

Taking Good Notes Leave lots of space for later thoughts and analysis Mark Key Concepts Colour Icons Highlighting Categories and Hierarchies Number the pages!

Reading Why? Greater depth of knowledge Selection Understand the library Know why you are reading Organisation Reading lists Checking availability through libraries and online resources Prioritising reading

Seminars Take the opportunity to share ideas and find out what others think Support your position with reasoned argument Take notes Be prepared to make presentations Don’t be shy – everyone is nervous Be tolerant too!

Summary… Goals Time management Sources of assistance Lectures Note-taking Reading Seminars

The End Any questions? The next lecture will be on essays and assignments.
