Group work on personal statements

On the 30 October we looked at two personal statements for students applying to university. We looked at the strength and weaknesses of the two statements. One came out clearly on top - mainly because of its clear paragraphing and writing.

What I was also interested in was how people organised themselves in groups. I stood back a bit from the groups to observe how you organised yourself. Some groups worked very efficiently while other groups got a bit side-tracked from their objective.

On the whole, though, your interpersonal skills as a class are good. Sometimes it just takes a bit of confidence to be the one to get your group back on track.

Thanks for your evaluations - they were insightful and honest.
