Research Skills & Critical Analysis: SLN Connect Study Skills Programme #6

Описание: SLN Connect’s peer mentors from across the Chichester College Group share their experience, advice and top tips on research skills and critical analysis. Mentors from Chichester College, Crawley College and Worthing College, enrolled on a range of academic and vocational courses, talk about what critical analysis means and how they apply this in their work. They share their strategies for critically analysing sources and the benefits of critical analysis skills outside of the classroom. They share tips for finding appropriate, credible and useful sources online and talk about the importance of referencing to avoid plagiarism.

This is the sixth video in an eight-part series. In previous weeks, the mentors discussed transitioning to online learning; stress management and keeping motivated; goal setting, organisation and time management; concentration, memory and learning styles; and note-taking. In the coming weeks, they will be covering: revision techniques and completing assessments. All of the videos in the series can be found in this playlist:    • Study Skills Programme
