Getting Help
This site introduces you to some of the skills and concepts you’ll need during your undergraduate studies. Most of these skills are acquired through a combination of practice and independent/peer-supported study. There are many links to explore on each page and we encourage you to take the time to work through the materials, either on your own or with a group of friends. Studying in groups can be really useful. It’s a great way of sharing ideas, challenges and wins, and it can help you feel more connected to the university and to your time as a student. You can create your own study groups or join PASS sessions if you’re enrolled in Writing Ecologies or Visual Storytelling.
