Academic Skills 1 introduces students to fundamental skills of studying at university. The course is taught in an interactive method, so that students are able to learn through participation. The course contains a number of written and spoken assignments which allow students to develop their reading, writing, thinking, researching and spoken skills. These assignments are based around essay writing and critical and reflective thinking. Considerable feedback is offered on each assignment. The course will be based around a general topic: the role of technology. This course is restricted to students who are enrolled in the UNSW Prep 17-19 program.
