This remediation activity has been specially designed for students who have not acquired 30 ECTS by the end of their first year of their bachelor's degree in history.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Specifically, it aims to achieve the following four objectives:
- To prepare one's study programme
- To explore and develop a variety of study materials independently
- To encourage mutual support amongst students
- To practise note-taking
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
The planning prior to the design and implementation of study support schemes will be based on the personal experiences of the participating students, gained during their first year of the Bachelor's degree in History.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The workshops will always be structured as follows:
- 15 mins' introduction (a recap of the previous workshop) and a theoretical explanation of the study method to be used (online tool, advantages and disadvantages, etc.)
- 1 hour 30 mins' individual/group exercises at the tables
- 30 mins of a fun activity to aid memorisation, in the form of a Trivial Pursuit-style game based on the course content, which will be expanded upon over the course of the sessions.
