EmilyPASSRep https://padlet.com/academicsummerschool/finalquestions/wish/1628246894 Hi Everyone! Just to get the ball rolling I thought I'd ask a few questions on here myself! 
What is a great piece of advice you've received about independent learning? What is something you do to help keep yourself motivated? 
I have redecorated my entire desk this year to make it a more positive space that I enjoy which has helped loads with online teaching :) ]]> 2021-06-28 11:40:19 UTC https://padlet.com/academicsummerschool/finalquestions/wish/1628246894 Just a quick thought of the day. What's your go to revision method.

I am currently having a coffee waiting to start revising for my exams so I thought I'd ask a little bit about how you prefer to revise (I'd love to hear which and why)! 

- Paper notes or digital?
- Pomodoro or longer revision sessions? 
- Morning work or night time work? 
- Watching videos or reading books? 
- revise at home or at a library? 
- Pretty notes or Practical notes? 

As per usual I would love to answer any questions - especially as we are nearing the end of the week! :) ]]> 2021-07-01 08:09:01 UTC https://padlet.com/academicsummerschool/finalquestions/wish/1633122754 Spaced Repetition and Anki KierenPassRep https://padlet.com/academicsummerschool/finalquestions/wish/1633191101 Hello and good morning everyone. I'd highly recommend you check out the Anki website and app (no, I'm not sponsored haha). They are excellent online flashcards which utilise spaced repetition to keep the information in your noggin longer and to a more complete standard.]]> 2021-07-01 09:22:45 UTC https://padlet.com/academicsummerschool/finalquestions/wish/1633191101 Look for your UniBuddy Ambassadors! KierenPassRep https://padlet.com/academicsummerschool/finalquestions/wish/1635055788 Hey everyone, I thought based on the posts from the other reps that it would be great to bring a bit more awareness to the UniBuddy ambassadors here at Newcastle. If you go to your subject/degree page on the University's website, you can scroll down and find a portal with a friendly face. They are a current student taking a degree relevant to your field (or perhaps even your exact degree), and they have produced many blog posts and vlogs on how to prepare for studying, study tips and advice... and much more besides.]]> 2021-07-02 15:44:49 UTC https://padlet.com/academicsummerschool/finalquestions/wish/1635055788 CollegeInfoGeek KierenPassRep https://padlet.com/academicsummerschool/finalquestions/wish/1640387453 Just thought I would drop a YouTube channel/personality I found very useful across my studies. His name is Thomas Frank, and he used to go by the YouTube channel name CollegeInfoGeek. You can find him here: https://www.youtube.com/c/Thomasfrank/videos or at https://collegeinfogeek.com/.]]> 2021-07-07 13:50:05 UTC https://padlet.com/academicsummerschool/finalquestions/wish/1640387453
