Handbook - Academic Practice

Overview

These are student based workshops designed to provide support in academic skills needed to successfully complete the assignments in postgraduate studies in the School. Students will be expected to bring reading and writing material that pertain to their studies in other courses. Each week, skills topics will be presented and they will be linked with the materials that students deal with in their other courses. Participants will engage in critical activities on materials used in their studies ie reviewing articles, assignments etc. There will be opportunity to discuss issues and field questions from colleagues to develop skills in defending a particular viewpoint or position.
