Students in Transition - Issues and Solutions

 

DATE: 12 Jun 2009
LOCATION/VENUE: Jordanstown Campus, Ulster Business School
 

Description

The workshop aims to underline why students are finding it increasingly difficult to make the transition from secondary to tertiary education before offering a number of solutions to the problems both staff and students face at universities.

The first two presentations will look at the changing nature of A levels and methods of spotting problem students, and the subsequent three will then offer some practical solutions for coping with students who are unprepared for university study, namely: cooperative learning amongst students; making lectures more interesting; and having a dedicated student retention officer as a point of contact for students disengaging from the process at an early stage.

It is hoped that the workshop will be of interest to any teaching staff who are dealing with first year students or who have an interest in retention generally.

During the lunch break there will also be an opportunity to look at an accountancy simulation package that one of the lecturers from the University of Ulster has created.
