Congratulations on successfully completing the three-week year 1 induction programme and to all of you for your fantastic Hack presentations. The winning presentation was Firm 3, with Firms 2 and 5 being voted as Highly Commended. In week 4 next week you will begin working on your law modules, Criminal Law Foundations, Human Rights Law and Legal Foundations. Check your individual timetables and the module ELE pages for more information
YEAR 2
This week is IMPACT week when you will be working with four local BCorps to pitch solutions to real life business challenges. Everything that you need will be set out on the IMPACT ELE page, including videos setting out the challenges- look out for an email sending you the link to this. The first thing to do is to check the team list to see who you will be working with and which challenge you will be working on. Monday morning (17th) is set aside for you to begin talking to your team and to familiarise yourself with your challenge and then we look forward to seeing you all at 13:00 on Monday at the IMPACT launch. Any questions email Sue (S.Kinsey@exeter.ac.uk) or Janet (J.Keliher@exeter.ac.uk).
Please note that the full autumn calendar of themed weeks for Law students can now be found on the Gateway page here.
Politics Academic Tutor Groups
Academic tutor groups have been scheduled for first years in week 5 (next week), so you should look out for those. Students are encouraged to attend as the sessions will provide peer support as well as support from the lecturer and will be a chance to reflect on how things are going, as well as resolve any issues.
Years 2 and 3 will have meetings later in the term and we will update them nearer the time. But of course, for any individual queries/issues, students can always get in touch directly with their academic tutors.
New Peer Assisted Learning Scheme
In the Language Centre we are looking to advertise a Peer Assisted-Learning Scheme for our students next week. We want to pair up students who are at Beginner/Intermediate level in either French, Mandarin or Spanish with students who are more advanced so that they can benefit from each other´s learning experience. Mentors will be able to get recognition through the Exeter Student Awards and Mentees will get some extra support with the language they are learning.
