University Gazette, 10 June 2010: Notices
GENERAL NOTICESLanguage Centre: Essentials of Academic WritingThis three-day, fifteen-hour intensive course will be held in ninth week, 21–23 June inclusive, 10 a.m.–1 p.m. and 2–4 p.m. It is specially designed to enable those with heavy schedules to take the course in academic writing. The programme is similar to that covered in the Michaelmas Term course. Topics dealt with include: linking ideas, information order, tenses, hedging, the use of personal and impersonal forms. Those wishing to register for the course should contact the Language Centre (e-mail: admin@lang.ox.ac.uk, telephone: Oxford (2)83360). The course fee is £100. Oxford Learning Institute: Training for Admissions InterviewingThe Oxford Learning Institute will offer the following training opportunities to those responsible for leading or assisting with Undergraduate Admissions Interviewing in 2010: A Tutored online course for those who expect to take a leading role in admissions interviewing will be available from 5 July to 3 December 2010 (with new enrolments being taken until 26 November 2010). A Non-tutored online course, for those assisting with admissions (e.g. graduate student 'helpers' or note-takers), and tutors who have previously taken the course and need an update, will be available from 5 July to 17 December 2010. Note: a new module on remote interviewing using Skype has been added to both the tutored and non-tutored courses this year. Admissions interviewing practice sessions, for new interviewers who have completed the tutored online course, will take place on two half- days (29 September 2010 and 19 November 2010). The collegiate University expects all those involved in interviewing candidates for admission to receive appropriate briefings on the process. The compulsory element of these briefings for new staff takes the form of an online course which takes about five to six hours to complete. New appointees may complete this online course before arriving in Oxford, if they wish to do so. Practice interviews are also offered as an optional extra learning opportunity. To qualify to take part in practice interviews, participants must complete the online course by a deadline approximately three weeks beforehand. The deadline is set so as to allow the Learning Institute sufficient time to recruit student interviewees in appropriate disciplines. The institute advises all teaching staff in colleges, who have not been involved in interviewing or have not previously taken this course, to ask senior colleagues whether they will be expected to interview this year and should therefore enrol. Departmental teaching staff may also wish to seek advice from line managers or mentors on whether they are likely to be invited to become involved in admissions this year. Many who do not have a formal college association are nonetheless frequently invited take part in college admissions processes because of their specific disciplinary expertise. Booking onto any of the above courses may be done through the Learning Institute Web site, www.learning.ox.ac.uk/admissions—follow the links to the course required. This page provides further information, but if more is required, enquiries may be directed to Kathryn Black (telephone: (2)86825).
