Research skills and critical thinking tutorials for school and college students
Our University Library, in collaboration with local schools and colleges, has designed a comprehensive set of open access online resources for students in Post-16 education to develop the skills to succeed in their current academic work and in the transition to Higher Education.
The research skills and critical thinking tutorials for school and college students include worksheets, videos and online tutorials that can be incorporated into lessons or used as resources for students to work through independently.
