I often reflect on the common ground which exists between teaching and research, and very much like your idea that this overlap also provides a hook into the question of improving employability prospects for graduates.

I think what you say emphasizes an additional reason for implementing Peer Learning: it also models the work environment in which students will find themselves once they graduate, whether this is in academic research or industry - my experience in industry, for example in IT, is similar to your description of the research environment.<br /><br />I think if we want students to feel comfortable/work effectively when they graduate and transition to a work environment then we need to model aspects of the work environment in their learning environment.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12438953867550141993noreply@blogger.com
