Developing Academic Skills allows you to develop the learning, thinking, critical
reading and writing and time management skills that are required for rigorous study

and transition into academic teaching and learning cultures in a range of disciplines.
You will develop learning skills relevant to the contemporary university environment
to maximise learning from future lectures, tutorials and online subject materials.
You will learn to plan and develop responses to a range of assessment tasks, and develop
skills to prepare a range of written and oral tasks required in a university environment.
Through actively engaging in planning, monitoring and evaluating your own learning,
