Synopsis

The  unit is designed around the acquisition of effective student life
skills.  An  emphasis  is placed on study and  learning  skills,  life
style,  stress  management and self motivation. The  investigation  of
learning integrates the acquisition and organisation of knowledge  and
understanding  of  learning with life skills.  By  focusing  students'
attention  on the study and learning processes, individuals  are  made
aware of their competencies and of the learning strategies required in
tertiary  study.  Regular feedback and discussion help  them  form  an
understanding of the nature of their own resources and how to learn in
a purposeful, organised and appropriate way. The unit assumes that, if
capable  students  are  made  aware of effective  learning  and  study
methods, and they can be guided to success in these matters, they will
subsequently act to optimise their academic performance.
