How Student Learning staff work with you
We work developmentally. We aim to foster independence and to encourage you to
collaborate with other students to develop your skills. We seek to help you identify
and understand the learning demands placed on you.
In an individual consultation we can assist you with:
- reading, researching, writing assignments, numeracy, critical thinking, problem
solving, study management and learning with others
- language support, if English is not your first language
- support and advocacy if you are new to the University culture
- clarifying the academic demands placed on you
- referral to other support services according to need.
