CAROLINE: Thanks.
CAROLINE: Well Dr Schulmann. I'm still having a lot of trouble deciding on a title.
TUTOR: Well, that's perfectly normal at this stage. And this is what your turorials will help you to do.
CAROLINE: Right.
TUTOR: What we'll do is jot down some points that might help you in your decision. First of all, you
have chosen your general topic area, haven't you?
TUTOR: Oh yes, that was one of the areas you mentioned. Now, what aspects of the course are you
good at?
CAROLINE: Well, I think I'm coping well with statistics, and I'm never bored by it.
CAROLINE: Well, I found computer modelling fascinating - I have no problem following what's being
taught, whereas quite a few of my classmates find it difficult.
TUTOR: Well, that's very good. Do you think these might be areas you could bring into your
dissertation?
CAROLINE: Oh yes, if possible. It's just that I'm having difficulty thinking how I can do that. You see I feel
I don't have sufficient background information.
CAROLINE: I'm very weak at note-taking. My teachers always used to say that.
TUTOR: Well, I think you really need to work on these weaknesses before you go any further.
TUTOR: Well, some people find it helpful to organise peer-group discussions - you know, each week
a different person studies a different topic and shares it with the group.
CAROLINE: Oh right.
TUTOR: It really helps build confidence, you know, having to present something to others.
TUTOR: The drawback is that everyone in the group seems to share the same ideas...they keep
being repeated in all the dissertations.
CAROLINE: Okay.
TUTOR: You could also try a service called 'Student Support'. It's designed to give you a structured
programme over a number of weeks to develop your skills.
TUTOR: Yes, unfortunately there are only a few places. But it's worth looking into.
TUTOR: And then there are several study skills books you can consult.
CAROLINE: Right.
TUTOR: They'll be a good source of reference but the problem is they are sometimes too general.
TUTOR: Other than that I would strongly advise quite simple ideas like using a card index.
TUTOR: It's simple, but it really works because you have to get points down in a small space. Another
thing I always advise is don't just take your notes and forget about them. Read everything
three times-that'll really fix them in your mind.
TUTOR: Well, if you establish good study skills at this stage they'll be with you all your life.
CAROLINE: Oh yes. I completely agree. It's just that I don't seem to be able to discipline myself. I need to
talk things over.
TUTOR: Well, we'll be continuing these tutorials of course. Let's arrange next month's now. Let's see,
I can see you virtually any time during the week starting 22nd January.
TUTOR: Sorry, I'm booked then. What about the following day?
