  3. Next week • What it’s about • Learning to learn the HE way • Learning – not being taught • Treating your learning like a full time job is a good frame of mind – 40 hours a week • Attend – and keep up! • Aim to enjoy your learning • Help will be readily and willingly available • Be a ‘strategic learner’ only and you will have to whistle • Classes - group 1 here and group 2 here

  4. How you are to learn (from Monday) • Four modules: iPAS,iM,iSDCS, iWTDS • Lectures, Tutorials and Workshops and your own work • Assessments (assignments, portfolios, presentations, class tests, etc, etc) • research, reading, exercises, watching the telly, chatting in the bar etc • Lots of module contact time is designed to help you do well in these tasks • Lots of non-contact time is designed to help you do well in these tasks
