Students will be able to practise their skills and take useful resources
home with them.
The session will include the following:

• Revising effectively

To gain the most from the workshop, students are advised to bring
with them a selection of their course notes from one of their chosen
subjects.
The session will be delivered by Glynis Lavington who is a Consultant

education. She has worked for many years in the further and higher
