Language and Learning workshops 2008

Warrnambool campus - Semester 2

Come to free workshops offered throughout the semester and find out how to organise your studies, write a better essay or assignment and prepare for exams. We encourage first year students to attend as many classes as possible. Most classes are repeated, so hopefully you can find a time that doesn’t clash with your lectures and/or tutorials.
