Politics plus student and tutor guidebooks

Abstract

These resources can be used by other departments which use the Plus program, or by departments who would like to start extra tutorials to teach students academic skills. There are two guides: a student guide with all the relevant information and exercises for each tutorial; and a tutor guide, which includes a lesson plan with information for each tutorial. These guides are the lesson plans and exercises for POL1008S (PolPlus) tutors and students. PolPlus offers supplementary tutorials to Extended Degree Program (EDP), Social Work and students who have done poorly on POL1004S (Introduction to Politics) as well as students who nominate themselves for the program. The tutorials focus on teaching students necessary academic skills that will benefit them for their entire university career.
