CRIB NOTES: 

Topic 1 - Learning Techniques      

-Using years 1 and 2 of the degree to try different methods of learning and essay writing      

-Block study vs. studying as opportunities arise.   


Topic 2 - Saying Yes to New Experiences      

-It can be difficult to always have a direction you want to take your life during University, and as such, opening yourself up to as many experiences as possible can be an advantage after completing the degree.       

-This can extend outside of sports and committees to research opportunities and volunteering opportunities       

-Academics are limited for time to conduct research and would be grateful for assistance; also holds students in good stead for third year projects.   


Topic 3 - Utilizing Feedback      

-Movement towards detailed, comprehensive, and individualized feedback for all students at all stages of study       

-But the feedback is not always capitalised on to its full capacity, or taken into consideration across various modes of study.       

-Reaching out to markers to explore and better understand feedback
