We’ve found there’s a strong link between the kind of revision someone does, and the outcomes they get.

 

Which student will do better in an exam?

 

• Student 1 does fifteen hours revision – all of it reading through class notes.

• Student 2 only does ten hours revision – two hours making mind maps, two hours creating flashcards of key terms, three hours writing timed essays, two hours collecting together all the past papers and looking for patterns in the questions asked, and half an hour doing the hardest question they could find, followed by half an hour with their teacher talking it through.  Then they spend five hours shopping with their friends and watching TV.

You too can make less mean more.

 

Classroom Viewpoints Meetings

During the next week Class Reps will run a Classroom Viewpoints meeting.

(For A-level students only, the tutor will choose a learner from the course)

​

The concept is that the Class Rep or other learner chosen by the tutor must lead a 10-minute class group meeting in December and record these discussions using the Classroom Viewpoints Recording Sheet (a google doc your tutor will send you)

Tutors will then provide feedback to the class in response.
