I've finished running these for this semester so now I'm reviewing how they went.

I've also been working on creating information resources for each of my subject areas re finding work/experience.]]> 2017-12-05 16:06:20 UTC https://padlet.com/j_bhagat/adviserforum/wish/213361777 Hannah - I think generally it's worked well to run the additional workshops. I've been able to run all apart from one. Numbers have been between around 3 and 10. https://padlet.com/j_bhagat/adviserforum/wish/213363488 2017-12-05 16:08:58 UTC https://padlet.com/j_bhagat/adviserforum/wish/213363488 Hannah - It has been a challenge to promote the workshops to students to get reasonable numbers. However, I've found that different approaches, e.g. using blackboard and also going into classes has helped. https://padlet.com/j_bhagat/adviserforum/wish/213364137 2017-12-05 16:10:05 UTC https://padlet.com/j_bhagat/adviserforum/wish/213364137 Hannah - I used Piktochart (a simple graphic design tool) to create a CV and cover letter resource for students and I think this is quite student-friendly. https://padlet.com/j_bhagat/adviserforum/wish/213365076 2017-12-05 16:11:23 UTC https://padlet.com/j_bhagat/adviserforum/wish/213365076 Caroline - The circle of concern activity when tackling presentation skills from Helen's sessions.
