Overview of Lab 02

Please sit in your Personal Tutor Groups and in your Lab Groups.

  • Students who missed last week or are ungrouped - identify yourself and stay nearby.
  • If you are ‘grouped’ - please open the Miro Board and complete a group form Members - Full names - Topic - Methods - Working style

Main Lab Activities

  • Follow the Worksheet for Literature Searching Tips, resources and exercises - this can be productive work towards BOTH your Personality Essay AND your Critical Proposal/Mini-Dissertation. Don’t waste the time.
  • (Re-)Familiarise yourself with the idea of Effect Sizes and see if you can find one relevant to either academic success or your research topic
  • The Lab Tutor will be circulating and looking at work on screen to see how you are doing. Ask for any help you need.

Module Milestones (by end of this week)

  • I’m in my group and we have a plan
  • I’ve got a rough idea of the Topic of my Mini-Dissertation
  • If after today, I sit down and read, or jot down ideas, whether for Essay or MD - it’s useful productive work
