25.01.2022 Its that time of the semester where everything seems to be happening at once. Take a deep breath.

22.01.2022 Now that we find ourselves in the third Non-Teaching Week, we hope your week is both productive and restful. Our tip for you this study week is to try to explain your unit concepts to someone who doesnt know the content. This will help you figure out how much you know the concepts, and will also consolidate the information in your head. If you would like more study tips or want to learn about study skills, login to https://bit.ly/PACOnline to see one of our PACs!

22.01.2022 Were nearly there everyone! As the semester draws to an end, heres a handy trick when proofreading: instead of simply re-reading what youve written, change the font type, size and colour and then read your work back to yourself. Some versions of Microsoft Word will read your work aloud to you. This enables you to engage with your writing in a different way and can help you notice sections that need editing that you might not have before. If you would like advice on your final assignments for the semester or on proofreading, login to https://bit.ly/PACOnline to see one of our PACs!

Her exam tip for you is For Examinations: Practice makes perfect! If you have exams, try practising your past exam paper or self made (which are excellent study tools) exams in exam conditions.
