Hey guys, I’m Tricia and I’ll be your second year representative
for this year! I have gone through wonderful times here at
Murdoch in my first year and have learnt lots!
Here are some hints of what I did in my first year:
STUDIES
Get involved in the peer
tutoring program – Fire them
with questions and you’ll get all
your answers! Plus, they are
really friendly!
Understand what your lecturer
is looking for in assignments
Create good terms with your
lecturers
Have your own study group the more minds the better!
Do not skip any workshop or
lecturers - attend them all!
Highlight your notes - it helps!
Place tags on the textbook
Make sure you are using APA
referencing and double check it
Rephrase - do not copy!
Find the First Year Advisors
(FYA)
Head down to the School of
Education library
Always read the reader before
attending the workshop
Print lecture slides a day before
and look up on it
SCHOOL PLACEMENTS
Be friendly to all staff
Be observant of the staff,
school policy and students
Get a head start to prepare for
your lessons
Observe how the teachers
carry out their lesson and go
with the flow
Observe
how
the
class
management is carried out
Always check the technology
involved
to
avoid
any
disturbances during the lesson
"You are
not alone!"
