Tip of the week: Develop your study skills

It’s week 4 and if you’re starting to feel the pressure of course work and assessments, you’re not alone! The good news is there’s a range of support available to help you build your academic and study skills. Take a look at what’s on offer: 

Study Support Mentors 

Study Support Mentors are high-achieving students who can help you develop your writing, researching, referencing and study skills. They offer free drop-in sessions throughout the trimester via Teams, email and in-person sessions. Visit the Griffith Mentors Study Support webpage for session times and more information.  

PASS 

Peer-Assisted Study Sessions (PASS) are weekly study sessions run by nationally-accredited student leaders who have previously completed the course. PASS helps you better understand course content, connect with other students and learn effective study methods. Selected first-year courses offer PASS—check the PASS webpage to see the study sessions available and find out how to join.  

Common Time 

Common Time is a series of workshops that help you build the core skills needed to complete the assessments in your program.  These workshops may cover topics such as study skills, assignment planning and writing, researching, referencing, and preparing for quizzes, exams and presentations. It’s also a great way to meet other students and staff who can support you throughout your studies. If Common Time is available for your program, it will show in your timetable. 

Library support 

Check out the Study and assignment skills webpages and Library workshops for help with academic writing, study skills, researching, referencing and digital skills. For further support, including individual consultations with a Library specialist, contact the library. 

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, reach out and make the most of the support available to you—your future self will thank you!
