HOW TO PREPARE STUDENTS
• Encourage students to read widely and analytically • Encourage questioning and independent learning • Teach History subject skills, particularly research skills • Give students experience working with primary sources • Teach formal academic essay-writing, including
appropriate referencing for History • Provide students with experience of presenting historical
information/learning orally

... encourage an enthusiastic attitude towards the subject ... and towards learning.
Ensure that students understand that by choosing to come to university they are entering into a transactional educational process that requires them to be active, engaged, increasingly independent learners — that scepticism and curiosity are valued — that there are no ‘right’ answers — and remind your students that historians read for their degrees. Every hour of contact time should be matched by at least 2-3 hours of independent study
