It was the first week of the Study Skills Course. A coach took us to college as we were new to the place. It was also to familiarize us on the route to college. In the evening, we walked back to the halls on our own.
There was a pre-test given in the morning. It was a test of grammar. Ian Pearson gave out the test papers after a short but warm welcome.
As the test was carried out, Michael Hall was in charge. He was to be one of the tutors during the Study Skills Course. After the test, we had tea at the refractory in the main building. As for lunch, I bought a cheese sandwich in the cafeteria because I did not pack anything at breakfast. I then planned to pack a light mal with something at breakfast; with cold bacon and eggs. The sandwich cost £1.
From then on, classes and lectures were carried out according to the time table. The other tutors were; Jeff Aldridge, Lionel and Mary Jackson, Susan Wren, Dorothea Bogle and John Young.
All classes during the Study Skills Course were conducted in Charteris Land (see attached picture on the left) except for Information Technology under John Young at the Demonstration School. Classes started at 9.00 am and ended at 4.00 pm.
The whole course was to build up our skills in gathering information, writing out assignments, take lecture notes and brushing up our speaking and listening skills. The other aspect was the application of computers which was and is still is the most helpful tool in doing and getting work or assignments done.
All in all, it was quite an interesting experience during the whole course which lasted about a month.
It ended with a tea party at the halls of residence.
