Notes for staff

This page outlines what Staff need to do to make this system work.

Briefings

Each Monday at 10am, there will be a live Briefing to orient students to the work that week.

Staff should add any information they’d like to be included in briefings to the relevant Discourse thread in this section of the site:

Progress

Staff should meet Stage 1 tutees three times in Semester 1, and Twice in semester 1.

Semester 1

Week 1/2: Gentle introductory meeting, 20 mins

See suggested content here

Week 5/6: Student led meeting

Students set the agenda, see their task here

Week 11

Individual oral assessments, followed by a progress meeting (pairs/3 students) to discuss progress and plans for the future.

Staff should book individual assessments with students, and ask them to wait to have their progress meeting in pairs/threes.

  • In the previous week students will have completed this preparatory task

  • Details of the assessment itself are found on the PSYC421 DLE pages

Progress meeting agenda:

  • Student led business
  • Revision suggestions (details TBC)
  • Careers content (details TBC)

Semester 2

Weeks and agenda for progress meetings TBC

Practice

Tutors are not required to do anything specific for the practice component of the new system, but it would be helpful if tutors:

  • Encourage students to complete the weekly practice tasks listed here
  • Encourage them to try PsyBot for instant feedback on tasks
  • Collate comments and feedback from students (please forward to Ben Whalley)

In future, tutors will be able to review progress on practice tasks with students during progress meetings. Features to be released soon.
