The EGGA handouts booklet (containing the presentation slides and optional homework activities) is available to download here as a PDF [28 MB].
The handouts booklet contains:
At the end of days 1 and 2 you will be set optional coursework to think about before the next day. The coursework documents are available in the PDF handouts booklet (above), but can also be downloaded here individually as Word documents or PDFs. Feedback sessions for the coursework will take place at 9.10am on days 2 and 3. Doing the coursework is entirely optional.
Some of the presentations will refer you to optional exercises and worksheets. These are available at the back of the PDF handouts booklet (above), and are also available to downloaded individually here as Word documents and PDFs. We would recommend printing these if possible in order to give your eyes a break from the screen. The exercises help you to apply the skills referred to in the presentation. The worksheets relate the session to your own proposed research proposal. Doing the worksheets and exercises is entirely optional.
