  2. Seminars and Group ProjectsJ. Skyrme

  3. Seminars, tutorials and group projects Almost all careers require you to work as part of a team, so learning how to make a positive contribution to group activities is a crucial key skill to acquire For many subjects, small­ group teaching is a characteristic of university education. You get as much out of tutorials as you put in.

  4. a. Prepare It's essential to prepare before a tutorial. You will probably be asked to do some reading beforehand. Bring your notes along and highlight anything which you need to have answered.

  5. b. Take part • You will learn by taking part. Specifically: • Listen to other people's ideas and arguments • Put forward your own ideas and arguments • Listen to other people's responses to your arguments • Try out new ideas • Carefully analyse people's ideas and arguments and criticise the weak points

  6. c. Logic It's more civilised to criticise weak arguments and poor logic rather than to attack the person who presents them. d. Notes Take notes if you can. You may have to wait till afterwards, but it's worth noting the key ideas which emerge.

  7. e. Key skills • Take notes if you can. You may have to wait till afterwards, but it's worth noting the key ideas which emerge. • The skills which you learn by taking part in tutorials make graduates highly valued in the work­place. Employers are really keen to hire people who can:   • Analyse a line of reasoning • Spot flaws in the argument • Persuade people of the value of their own argument (without attacking others).

  8. Effective groups can achieve much more than individuals working alone: you can apply a wider range of skills to a problem, and you can learn a lot by sharing and discussing ideas.

  9. ACTIVITIES • Talk about how you feel when you are asked to work in a new team • What are your strengths and weaknesses when it comes to team work? • How can you best approach a new situation where you need to work closely with others? • What do you think employers are looking for in interviews when a teamwork task is given?
