Make sure to read your required reading text and units before your tutorials, if not you may find that you are playing catch up on yourself. Divide your time in advance :)

Study tip from Elizabeth (Psychology Student)

Complete your reading on a weekly basis and manage your time well for assignments.

Study tip from Ryan

Embrace it. Critical thinking is a transferable skill. Use the forums!

Study tip from Erika

be sure to ask plenty of questions so that you know whats required - the more questions that are asked the more information you will gather.

Study tip from Charles

Everybody falls in the procrastionation trap at one or more occasions. I have found using the ‘pomodoro technique’ to be very helpful. Especially when there is a lot to read and do. 

Study tip from Anita

If the material is hard to understand at first, ask your tutor to explain it further

Study tip from Mary (Humanities student)

Keep up with the studies and make good notes rather than having to go back over texts.

Study tip from Marie (Literature Student)

I think if at all possible to keep on top of things throughout the year and to take good summary notes as you go along so as you don’t have to reread the text towards exam times. Basically, keep your studies and course work evenly spaced rather than leaving things to the last minute, which is what I did!

Study tip from Martin (History student)

I find notes easier to memorise when I re-write them out neatly and colour coded.

Study Tip from John (Psychology Student)
