Learning Skills
Introduction
This tutorial has been developed to integrate key skill areas, such as critical thinking, reading and note-taking, writing and referencing, into the context of essay writing, the most common form of assessment at university. The activities selected represent the areas of most concern to students as they work through their assignments. They also represent the key features for which markers are looking.
If you are concerned about your knowledge and skills to cope successfully with academic writing upon completion of this tutorial, a number of more detailed Study Link subjects are offered by the University. The StudyLink website outlines these subjects and enrolment procedures.
The CSU Learning Skills website contains resources on a range of academic language and learning topics. Use the Student Services centralised point of contact – Support Central – to make an appointment with a Learning Skills Adviser to discuss the different ways we can help you with your studies.
There are a number of recently published texts
that should prove excellent resources for academic writing and learning. These books are available from the CSU Library.
