Abstract
This paper describes a pilot project to support first year students who have failed or barely passed an early piece of assessment in a large, foundation course. The intervention pilot project is based on a strategy originally devised and pioneered by Professor Keithia Wilson and Associate Professor Alf Lizzio to help first-year students develop self-management and problem-solving capabilities. It involves at-risk students filling out a reflective workbook and participating in an intensive academic planning discussion with their tutor. The success of the original intervention was repeated in this pilot project at a different institution, demonstrating its efficacy in other course and disciplinary contexts.
