The first year of law school is, for many people, one of the most significant transitions of their adult life. Law school demands a lot as it helps you make the transition from your prior identity as student (or as some other occupational role) to your new identity as an attorney. To meet the demands of law school, it is often helpful to have the big picture before you begin – a sense of what it is you are trying to do as you prepare for classes, participate in those classes, review and prepare for exams, take exams, and then begin the cycle once again.
Law School Materials for Success is designed to give you the essentials of that process. It is purposefully brief – most law students do not have the time for an extensive examination of the study of law school. Rather, they need a source for some basic, critical advice and some pointers on where to go for more if necessary. That is what this book and the accompanying podcasts are designed to provide.

Using Theatre to Reimagine Graduate Supervision
Short Description:
Rock the Boat is an open-access multimedia resource designed to provoke dialogue about graduate supervision relationships within universities, and their impact on student and faculty wellbeing. Drawing upon the tradition of Research-based Theatre, Rock the Boat draws attention to graduate supervision as a vital form of pedagogy, and as rife with challenges — especially relating to equity, inclusion and diversity.
Long Description:
Drawing upon the tradition of Research-based Theatre, Rock the Boat draws attention to graduate supervision as a vital form of pedagogy, and as rife with challenges — especially relating to equity, inclusion and diversity. By supporting structured and safe dialogue about some of these challenges on campus, we hope to support students, faculty and staff in developing healthy, respectful supervisory relationships, thereby enhancing the wellbeing of all.
The resource comprises four filmed scenes, each seven to 10 minutes long: Zoom Fatigue, Contentious Authorship, No Other Choice and Disclosures. Each scene dramatizes a relationship between one or more graduate students and their supervisors and provokes dialogue around specific challenges that can occur. These include supervisory communication, authorship of scientific papers, competition between students, gender and racial discrimination, balancing personal and professional priorities, mental health and privacy.
The scenes can be used in any facilitated group context. You may, for example, wish to use them for graduate student orientation, during equity, diversity and inclusion workshops, for supervisory training sessions, or during faculty or departmental retreats. The scenes are professionally acted and filmed, and this guide will help you design and facilitate a group session that generates useful dialogue, whatever your specific goals.

The transition from high school and home to college and a new living environment can be a fascinating and interesting time, made all the more challenging and interesting by being at MIT. More than recording the first semester through a series of snapshots, this freshman seminar will attempt to teach photography as a method of seeing and a tool for better understanding new surroundings. Over the course of the semester, students will develop a body of work through a series of assignments, and then attempt to describe the conditions and emotions of their new environment in a cohesive final presentation.

Long Description:
This textbook provides invaluable information and skills for students who are either transitioning between high school and post-secondary or for adults who have been out of school for some time and are returning as mature students. It will develop understanding and skills needed in college and university that differ from those required in high school and will provide salient learning for those who need to adapt to being a student again. It also goes over many issues which are applicable to adult learners.
Whether using a few of the chapters or studying the whole book, this will prepare students for the challenges of post-secondary education. It covers topics such as adult learning, time management, study skills, test-taking, note-taking, memory techniques, researching, referencing sources, learning preferences (strengths and challenges), student supports and resources, communication skills, online learning, student funding (loans, bursaries, and grants), presentation skills, and transferring courses between post-secondary institutions.
In this text students will have exercises which enable them to identify personal learning issues and develop strategies to deal with them in a way that works for them. It uses relevant and current visuals, videos, and interactive learning to achieve these learning outcomes.
This book covers the articulated learning outcomes for the provincial level ABE course, Student Success, under the Education and Career Planning (EDCP) umbrella which can be used as an elective towards a BC Adult Graduation Diploma. Many students use Student Success as a grade twelve level introductory course when returning to education while getting an adult high school level graduation diploma. As well, graduates starting post-secondary use Student Success to change study habits and to develop new skills for success as they start college or university. Some students use Student Success as needed throughout post-secondary as issues arise.
