Description

This course introduces students to key information students need to know like the structure of their degree, how assessment works at University, where and how to access resources and develop the required skills to succeed at University. It explores the graduate attributes and students reflect on how these may one day serve them at work and in their communities. It also engages critically with the process of knowledge creation at Universities, the importance of evidence, and complexity of navigating indigenous knowledge and ethics in this process.
