STUDY MODE
S - Standard mode - generally 3 hours face to face/week
B – Block mode - generally 2 full days of lecture presentations 2 or 3 times a semester
D – Distance mode - you study the lecture material in your own time, submitting deliverables as required.
TEACHING SESSIONS
Summer – a limited number of subjects will be available over summer semester as electives for PG and UG Engineering and IT students
Winter - a very limited number of subjects will be available over winter semester for PG IT students
General advice
• Ensure you are servicing your course; it’s not just about passing subjects – you need to take the responsibility. Investment ($, time, …). Be strategic (electives, internships, meeting pre-req’s …)
• Know who to ask or what to do BEFORE things go wrong.
• Get changes in writing! (assessment criteria/requirements, study plan…)
• We create learning environments to engage; how are you demonstrating the skills, knowledge, abilities, graduate attributes you are developing in the subject and course?
General advice
• Find the right balance – enjoy University - Study vs Work vs Life
• Cope with change, be resilient, have a recovery strategy. The University is a dynamic, non-linear environment.
• Take opportunities that are available, overseas exchange, BUiLD, scholarships, awards, competitions, volunteer…
• Remember – we are here to help you, but also remember the complexity of the University!
General advice
• UTS culture – academic expectations – how does this compare with your previous academic environment (local or international)
• Continuing study, returning to study, working + study + life…
