SESSION PLAN

The following topics will be discussed in the session:
  • Human thinking preferences (The Hermann brain model will be discussed as a starting point to illustrate what attracts and  interests different types of people. This will also provide an opportunity for each individual to get to know themselves better).
  • Preferred learning mode and communication style of each quadrant of the Hermann bran model ( This will assist each tutor to understand which quadrant each of their students fall into, and in doing so get clues on how to deal with students using an effective approach.
  • Question and answer session to provide tutors and staff an opportunity to discuss difficulties that they may have experienced through their interaction with students.
