This program draws on an active learning/problem solving approach. Course participants are allocated into teams of 4-5 and they undertake the various challenges. Following each activity there is a full debrief that relates to the PhD experience.
This program appeals to a group of people who learn best from doing as opposed to listening. It is a chance to get involved in and learn from focussed activities and learn some of the skills of working in a team.
Participants will get the opportunity to learn how to:
• Problem-solve
• Understand their learning style
• Deal with feedback
• Deal with frustrations and set-backs
• Work co-operatively in a team
