The Learning and Teaching Committee of the University is considering the issue and all those involved are recommending that the scheme be expanded to a number of other courses. The problems should not be overlooked - time tabling into a content laden curriculum, shortage of suitable rooms for the learning sessions, the desire of some students to do the minimum necessary, effective organization. Perhaps questioning and reflection on the content-laden curriculum in some subjects would help alleviate at least one of those problems. The conclusions are that SI is overall a worthwhile activity. Those who have attended SI have developed transferable skills in learning methods which are reflected in their final grades.
Student leaders are a very visible group of students who are clearly active in their own learning.
Their skills in group work, communication, organization have improved.
