Lectures Provide a ‘frame of reference’ Good introduction to the topic Give clues as to what the lecturer thinks is important

Reading Why? Greater depth of knowledge Organisation Reading lists Availability Sources Selection Understand the library Know why you are reading Method

Seminars Opportunity to find out what others think Practice supporting your position with reasoned argument Take notes Don’t be shy – everyone is nervous Be tolerant too!
