UniLearning
This is a website with a wealth of information and interactive activities to help you think about, practice and develop your academic study and writing skills, such as note-taking, critical thinking, essay and report writing, punctuation and grammar.
- Statistical Modules
The Statistical Literacy Introductory Program (SLIP) is an online program that has been designed to assist in developing statistical skills.
- Module 1 is Producing Data and
- Module 2 is Describing, Clarifying and Presenting Data.
Statistical literacy is an extremely important skill to develop because in everyday life you are constantly exposed to information from surveys and scientific experiments which are designed to tell you something about the society we live in. But, how do you know that these findings are accurate? How do you make sense of the information with which you are presented? Statistical literacy provides us with the skills to answer these questions.
Workshops
See the current program of workshops, designed to develop various academic skills. All workshops are run between 12.30 – 1.30 pm through the Learning Resource Centre (behind the library, on the ground floor of Building 19, in room G102).
Learning Development also offers a series of thesis writing seminars for postgraduate research students at the University of Wollongong. These workshops will be held in the ITS presentation room, Building 17 level 3, between 10.30 - 12.30.
Consultations
Phone or visit the Learning Resource Centre to make an appointment to discuss your academic work. Consultations are free and generally last for one hour. It is wise to book a week ahead, as demand for consultations can be very high. Staff will discuss your academic work with you and guide you towards effective learning and writing strategies. Please bear in mind that this is a teaching – not proofreading – service. The Learning Resource Centre is behind the library, on the ground floor of Building 19, in room G102. Phone 4221 3977.
