ABSTRACT

There are many skills that are applicable to everyone studying any discipline at university. For lectures with fewer students, the format might be a little looser, with more opportunities for student and lecturer interaction. Flipped learning is becoming more commonplace here the large lectures become much more interactive. Many universities also lay on extra sessions for those students who are keen for extra support, often run by enthusiastic PhD students. More students use their laptops or tablets to take notes in lectures but there are still some who take notes old-skool style. Diagrams, doodles, flowcharts and tables are all vital tools for reinforcing what we've learnt. Many law firm assessment days will incorporate some activity where they can observe how you work with others. There are various teamwork models out there with clearly defined roles to recognise the fact that individual personality might drive which role you are better at taking on within this scenario.
