5 things done at work this week

our usual list of the things we have been doing

Alex:

1. some more phone calls, I have not done nearly so many this week as I did last week, somewhere just above 40.


2. research into revision techniques: revision techniques themselves are pretty simple to find out about, as to finding out what’s best at getting you to remember information and studies into the link between discussion, explanation, understanding and memory, thats rather more difficult to find out.


3. looking at types of questions that are asked in A level exams and how many of them can be turned into yes/no debates


4. writing academic debates to illustrate the above – one done, another 2 started.


5. started writing a guide on how to write academic debates for revision.

Terence:

1. Lots of phone calls made. Song and my collaborated list has now completed phase one of initial contact.


2. Started phase two of contact with call list, very positive. In general, people love our idea. "Love it" to quote one of the replies I received.


3. Created and contributed to more debates. Karma up to 34 and rising. I had no idea it was this addictive to get Karma points, it is my new crusade.


4. Yet another very productive lunch meeting. Thought of new slogans and met the new Board member, Ravi. I hope he didn't mind my cello scrotum story. Thanks for the free lunch though Dave.


5. Did papers with Alex, completely un-supervised. RISE OF THE INTERNS!

This will be my last entry, thanks for the good times. x


Betony:

1. Michael crick meeting - shirt but sweet, potential new patron!


2. Meeting with Lord's outreach Lucy at Portcullis house. Good progress made.


3. Phone call progress, and some very positive responses


4. Posters flyers, doorhangers and bookmarks - we're getting some great looking marketing materials


5. Networking produced some good avenues - Electoral Reform Society and Votematch meetings next week

Dave C

1. Got our first newsletter out the door and welcomed a prodigal son back into the fold as a result. It’s good to have you back on board Alex.


2. Sent the grant application in for Revisewise to OSI. Come on Noel, you know it makes sense


3. Managed to reign in my perfectionism to get leaflets, flyers, doorhangers and bookmarks ready for print


4. Made more connections with people who could help thanks to the very wonderful James.


5. Got a meeting arranged with the Ministry of Justice, it’s government all the way here
