Welcome to Week 5, Learning tool kit.
In this course so far you’ve been focused on looking at your own unique blend of knowledge, skills and qualities. In this week the course focuses on adding new tools and skills to your personal tool kit. These include reading for a purpose, effective note-taking, referencing and essay writing. You will also have an opportunity to have a go at a tool you may have come across, that’s mind mapping.
Now, these are mainly academic skills, but don’t let that word academic put you off. Like any other skill they come along with practice and nobody feels that confident to start with.
So, use this week to find out about these new skills and start practising.
