Be proactive. For those of you preparing for mid-semester exams, take practise examinations after reviewing the course material. By completing these tests under similar circumstances as your actual exam, you will test your understanding of the material and familiarise yourself with exam conditions. |

Be aware of the rules. It is really important to uphold academic integrity in your academic work. Ensure you are aware of the rules by completing our academic integrity module on Wattle. For those of you submitting assignments, check if word limits apply and be aware of any penalties that occur if they are not adhered to by checking the assessment guidelines or the class summary. |
