Something a little different this week.  Two of my ex-students come into the studio to discuss the things that they learnt during their time at uni.  We cover everything from hacking Linked In to oil shocks to the protective power of Lycra.  It's a good one! 

Barney and Oliver were both full time students, however if you are an apprentice you may find the podcast "Apprentice Talks" a useful addition to the points made here.  https://anchor.fm/apprentice-talks  It's hosted by some of the degree apprentices we currently have at Pearson College London.  

Deputy Dean Elizabeth Miller joins us for a chat about research and references.  What is a good source?  How should you find/use sources?  And what does Rihanna have to do with the Australian climate?

Kate is a marketing tutor at Pearson College and is mad about brands, branding and the way people interact with brands.  As such she is an expert in getting a message across to someone.  Who better then to talk about how to get loads of marks for the writing and structure of your work.  

Will Holt is the dean of Pearson Business School.  He marks more than his fair share of presentations and videos so he shares some tips of the sort of things you should do and should not do if you want to..... get loads of marks.  

Piers is the study skills tutor at Pearson College London.  He also teaches on the self managed learning courses and is involved in marking essays. 

He was kind enough to join me for a quick chat about the sort of things that he sees as common mistakes in essay writing.  

Piers mentions his study skills site during this podcast, you can find it here... https://lib-guides.pearsoncollegelondon.ac.uk/library/studyskills
