- The personal development of the students is first focussed on becoming a ‘professional student’. Students should be able to learn relevant study skills and develop helpful learning attitudes in the (first-year) courses. For example:
a. How to learn from lectures (making summaries, formulation of study questions, time-on-task…)?
b. How do you plan and prepare for the tests (time management) and reflect on your study activities and results?
c.How to collect and assess information for study assignments?
d.How do you collaborate with other students?
e.How to write texts, reports, et cetera and how to give a presentation?
f.How to stimulate complex learning? - The study skills are practised in the regular courses. The learning track for this is discussed by the teachers (DP4). Supporting tools like checklists, formats, logbooks, timesheets, and step plans are available for the students.
- Communicate clear deadlines and (constructive) consequences when exceeding them.
- Ensure meetings with tutors and students when needed. Tutors typically support a small group of students in the first year.
