Sessions

2 sessions yesterday, one to a group of Health Service Researchers at IOP, one to students as part of the Researcher Development Programme.

Total turn-out: 6 students – thats for both sessions.

I actually had something intesting to say. In one I had been asked to talk about about ‘big picture’ Career Managment issue, in the other I was trialling my new material on CV writing.

We never get large groups here in the summer term – even though with PhD’s there are no exams to distract. I have just read an article on the threats to face to face teaching in universities now – diminished contact time. We are trying to increase it and not really getting any where it seems.

In one session, 8 students had said they would come, in the CV workshop 5. So the other issue is students who commit to come and then do not. Ho-hum.
