Finding your space: studying at home and on campus
In this busy start of your journey at university, it’s important to have an effective environment to fall back on for studying. With tips and tricks from student leaders, this session will teach you how to establish your own study spot on campus and set up a productive study space at home.
The assignments and teaching techniques you’ll encounter at university are drastically different from high school. Under the guidance of Swinburne students, this session will teach you how to take effective notes during lectures, study efficiently outside of class and prepare for a variety of assessments.
Hosted by students and staff, this session will provide you valuable insights into our university. Ask us a question or if you need clarification from your earlier sessions, feel free to ask us!
