How to Study - As an Adult

What does it mean to engage with your study?

You may not understand immediately why you need to complete certain aspects of any study, but those aspects are there for a reason.

Some of you may not be long out of school, some of you may be decades from school days. Not a problem.

Many of you see yourself as computer literate, some not so much.

This program has been written to offer you the knowledge and the skills to support what you need to have a seamless transition into your degree.

To engage with this study, no matter your educational past, means having an open mind and be willing to conquer all the assessment, on time.

Communicate and respond to correspondence. 

Do something that supports your learning and moving forward in the unit EVERYDAY!

Be present and willing and open to knowledge building whether they are not new or very new to you.

Remember that as a cohort or group of learners in this unit, everyone will be at a different level of learning.

Come to terms with feedback. Feedback is not about negativity, but it is meant to be supportive and developmental in your growth.

Feedback will show what was well done, some ideas for what could have been included and something to work on for next time.

ACT on that feedback! Immediately.

A great way to edit your work is to read your work out aloud to yourself or a long suffering friend or partner, you will hear the errors more easily than reading them. Make the changes straight away.
