  4. “I’ll be told when to start work on my assignments.” “I’ll be spending all of my time reading and writing essays/reports.”

  5. “There’s only one answer.” “I’ll need to refer to expert opinions in my work.” “By reading, I will form my own points of view.” “The experts are always right.” “I have to read everything on the reading list” “I should believe everything I read.”

  6. “Have you ever asked a question that is controversial?” “I need to ask critical questions.”

  7. 1. Individually What are some of the benefits and problems of social media? What’s your point of view? What examples/evidence can you think of? 2. In pairs What? How? How do your views compare? Are there other views to consider? Facebook, Twitter, blogs: Is social media beneficial or problematic to university students? Why? So What? What next?

  8. Do you need more information to answer this question? Have you changed or challenged any views? Centre for Learning and Study Support (CLaSS)
