"Library and Learning Services provides a dedicated team of specialists to support all Sciences students. The Sciences Learning Advisers have been working with students in assisting them to evaluate the skills and strategies for completing their academic work. This includes reviewing written reports and essays as well as helping students to address their approach to examination situations. As you finalise the semester, and head off on a break, take some time to reflect on how you met the deadlines set for assessment tasks; how you revised the course content over the semester in preparation for exams; what strategies you used to assist in your study; how you approached your research program. This is a good time to forward plan your study approaches for Semester 2 including looking over assessment types and where you might require some specialist, one to one advice. Individual consultations with specialist staff are an excellent way to kick off the new semester. Find some tips and ideas to help you reflect, review and refresh at Workshops and Training.
