S12 The lecturers kind of set you in the right direction and show you where to go but it’s up to you to go and do the research.
S13 Basically you are just given a very broad outline of what’s required and it’s up to you to bring to it your own personal perspective and to kind of make the question your own and the research your own.
S3 Help’s always there but you have to go and get it. It’s very much proactive independent learning and if you don’t understand something you can look it up and then if you still don’t get it you can go and find someone. They’re not always chasing you up and that’s possibly the main difference really.
S14 For me it’s been very interesting because you learn things that you might not get told in lectures and I’ve found that to be some of the most interesting learning that I’ve done so far at university, actually going out and finding the necessary information that I need to do the assignments I’ve been given.
S15 It’s actually quite satisfying spending a lot of time in the library drawing together a lot of information and finally at the end you can present something, you know, into the office that you’re really, really proud of researching and almost being an expert on.
