Dealing with other people’s ideas

Have you ever been asked to write about someone else’s theory in your own words, and felt that you could never express it quite as well as the author themselves? In this SHL workshop we discuss how to deconstruct ideas in order to apply them to questions. We will also cover how to represent someone else’s writing in your own words.

What’s in your (Open) box?

Compared to focusing on an individual subject, interdisciplinary 'Open' study offers a much wider view of study and the world in general.  
In this special Student Hub Live broadcast you will find out how to make the most of the opportunities that looking beyond a single subject can offer, as well as showing how you may have been doing it all along without realising.
