Trimester B, aye? We’ve all made it this far in the year and the end of the line is so close yet so far. For the new students just starting out their uni life, welcome! To returning students, welcome back I guess. In this edition, we are going to dish out some tips on how you can get ahead this trimester and make life easier for yourself. It really boils down to one thing: Know what you need to do. This is a fairly broad statement, so let us break it down for you.
Know Your Paper Outline
This means you go into the document on Moodle, and read through the information provided for you. You need to know what is expected of you and what your responsibilities are. You need to know the content that is going to be taught to you and the resources that are available to you.
Know Your Deadlines
Knowing when things are due allows you to plan your time wisely and stay on top of your workload. Invest in a planner and highlight these dates on your calendar. It’s very easy to get overwhelmed when things start to pile up, but if you know these dates, then you can plan when to get started on your work to ensure things get done on time.
Know Your Main Contacts
This is usually your lecturers, the paper convenor, your tutors, and your class reps. These people are the ones you can reach out to when you need support.
