Skills for University study - workshops
Starting your uni course, you’ll need to organise yourself to study, work out what’s wanted in your various assignments, and cope with unfamiliar ways of reading and writing. And it would be good to meet some other people in your course and do this together.
We’ve organised a set of workshops to help you do just that. You don’t have to enrol, and there’s no extra homework – just a chance to meet some other students and to get your head around the challenges of studying humanities and social sciences at uni. Starting in Week 2 at the Melbourne campus, these workshops are run by our Academic Language and Learning Unit and cover:
- how to organise yourself – so much to do, so little time!
- how to understand what your tutors are after.
- how to read a uni text
- how to write a uni essay
- how to use your reading in your writing.
Please bring your learning guides from all your subjects, and your diary, to whichever session (one each week) suits your timetable. (Note the building and room number below for the time you have chosen – the first challenge is to find the building!)
All students are welcome, whether you’re commencing or you’d like a refresher – and new students are strongly urged to attend.
Dates for 2013
Workshop times and locations to be confirmed shortly.
