Dear Students,
Welcome to week 2 of the semester and we hope that the first week has gone well as you have started to settle into the semester ahead. This week will have allowed you to assess your study load commitments across the semester and put planning in place to manage a commitment to study and juggle this alongside family/work and life.
Remember to keep your planning SMART and make these steps smart for you;
- SPECIFIC- schedule in study times and assessment start times to make certain you are on track for meeting assessment deadlines.
- MEASURABLE – make it measurable with small steps to achieve a larger goal.
- ATTAINABLE – keep it realistic and attainable based on your schedule.
