<p>Episode 16 of the take1 podcast breaks with tradition slightly, in that I don't really talk about sociology. Instead, I answer a bunch of questions that you may have if you're going away to university later this year. The questions were submitted by a former student of mine (@SocStudent2020), who himself is off to uni in September.</p> <p><br></p> <p>The questions I answer are:</p> <p><br></p> <p>1. What's the difference between sixth form/college and uni?</p> <p>2. What's the difference between a lecture and a seminar?</p> <p>3. Should I be doing any course prep over the summer?</p> <p>4. What's it like having fewer contact hours, and how do I spend this time?</p> <p>5. How do i maintain a balance between social and academic life?</p> <p>6. How are uni exams different to GCSEs and A-Levels?</p> <p>7. Any advice on essay writing (especially referencing)?</p> <p>8. What advice do you have about researching essays?</p> <p>9. Making notes in lectures - how much should you write?</p> <p>10. What about revision? How's this different to sixth form?</p> <p>11. Budgeting... Help!</p> <p>12. Should I get a part-time job?</p> <p>13. Should I be starting to look at careers in 2nd / 3rd Year?</p> <p>14. What should I take / not take to uni accommodation?</p> <p><br></p> <p>This podcast was also simultaneously broadcast on twitch, which I've been experimenting with over the last few days. The audio quality is a bit offensive, but I'm working on ironing it out. Go follow me: twitch.tv/allsociology</p>
