Just ONE of your obligations while on Academic Caution this semester is to attend the Study Skills Workshop Program run by Student Services Unit.
The sanction of Academic Caution demands that you spend this semester taking responsibility for improving your results so that you meet the minimum rate of progress (MRP) required for progression through your course.
What this Study Skills Workshop Program can offer you is the chance to develop the skills and strategies that can enhance your learning. The program is about YOU.
YOU need to better manage yourself as an independent learner. You must become a more active partner in the teaching-learning process.
The program does not aim to offer extra instruction in any of your subject areas.
The sessions in the Program aim to offer assistance in the following key areas:
- Personal organisation
- Self-management
- Emotional regulation
- Planning
- Self-reflection
- Lifelong learning
Learning the elements of these skills and developing them, can contribute to your academic success, as well as your personal satisfaction. These are sometimes referred to as generic skills. They transfer to all other areas of your life. They are also key employability skills that every university graduate needs to develop. No effort to attend the Study Skills Workshop Program will be wasted.
Please refer to the separate descriptions of each session. The focus of each session is outlined, and how each session relates to different key graduate attributes is explained.
Don't attend just because it's compulsory!
Choose to attend the Study Skills Workshop Program because you're interested in developing yourself, and want to improve your results this semester.
