What to expect at uni! Many students will come to university and within a short while settle in to the new learning environment, join clubs, get involved in activities, make friends and get on with study towards their degree. However, the transition to uni life is not always that easy for everyone! The following information may help if you’re not sure about what lies ahead.

Difference between uni and school

New study patterns:

Secondary school study Tertiary Study

The timetable accounts for every hour of the school day.

Lectures and tutorials take up part of the day. You must plan your own long and short term timetables.

Two hours of school work requires about one hour of homework.

For every one-hour lecture or tutorial about two hours of private study will be necessary.

Teachers set and correct your homework frequently (daily, weekly).

Assignments are longer but less frequent. They may be set many weeks ahead.

Your have daily interaction with teachers. Lecture groups may be large. It is up to you to approach your lecturer or tutor if you are having difficulties.

Teachers guide your reading. Set texts are prescribed for each subject.

You may be given a reading list from which you select, or you may have to search for relevant material in the library.

Reading only the set texts is often enough for essay preparation.

Wide reading is essential.

Teachers may provide outline notes and will indicate the most important ideas and information.

You will have to identify and make notes on the main points in lectures and texts.

In essays, you refer to the set texts, but need not acknowledge all the sources of your ideas and information.

You must acknowledge all your sources. To avoid plagiarism, you will need to learn referencing skills (footnotes included references, bibliographies).

You learn a core of knowledge and reproduce it in your reports, essays and examinations.

You need to:

memorise information

ask questions

examine evidence

think critically

In other words you are expected to develop your powers of independent thinking.

Independent learning at university

University study The main goal of university study is to become an effective learner. In order to do so, you must be an ‘independent learner’ – someone self reliant in their learning and capable of individual thought. You have personal responsibility for establishing and organising your own program of study.

Work at learning Some characteristics of an effective learner: • recognise that learning is a process that is ongoing and lifelong. • recognise that learning is an active building up of knowledge and understanding, not merely a memorisation of

facts. • actively connect new information to existing knowledge and previous experiences; prior knowledge and

experiences shape and give meaning to new knowledge. • continuously reflect on and monitor their learning. • work from a basis that learning is their own responsibility and that no-one else can do it for them.

Practical suggestions for becoming an effective learner Practical suggestions to start you off on effective learning at university. • Read a study guide (available in the Library or at all Monash University bookshops). • Plan out and make a chart of your study activities, and make changes when necessary. • Keep track of learning methods that you use, noting those which seem to be most effective and what aspect of your

study they were most effective for. Think about what it was that made these methods effective. • Talk with others-students and teaching staff-about learning and study approaches. When you need information on

how to go about things, it's usually best to ask someone who has experience.

Am I well prepared for uni? Some university units (particularly mathematics and science subjects) typically draw on and build on content knowledge that is taught at secondary school. This will make your learning easier in that unit at university. In general, you'll find that some content knowledge you covered at secondary school will link directly into your learning at university, but this will not always be the case. If you find that you have some gaps in background content knowledge, it's important to do something positive about the situation early in the semester, before it becomes a problem.! Try text books (ask the unit coordinator to recommend one that's easy to understand), unit handbooks, specially designed computer programs, university teachers, friends!

Communication is the key! In the various means of assessment at university you are asked to communicate your understanding of the unit, in written, spoken and/or practical ways. Development in learning and communication skills is a lifelong experience-and it's never too late to make a big effort to improve them. So build on accessing knowledge efficiently, selecting knowledge that is relevant and useful, examining evidence or text critically and interpreting evidence or text in the light of important principles.

Check out Language and Learning Online at monash.edu.au/lls/ If you’re feeling unsure about your studies, or encountering difficulties, it may help if you:

1. Think about what sort of help you might need-for example, 'do I need some counselling about the course or unit I've chosen?' or 'do I need to attend sessions on developing my study skills?' or 'do I need some help with written or oral communication?'

2. Locate the help you think you might need through the Monash University website or by reading university brochures and booklets and/or student handbooks for your unit.

3. You will find language and study skills assistance, course advisers, counsellors, disability officers, Indigenous officers, financial aid advisers, housing advisers etc are all on campus to help you.

4. The Student Association is another source of help and advice. There are Student Rights officers to look after your rights and to help with resources and activities. They can also provide welfare assistance if needed or refer you to other services.

The Monash Transition Program The Monash Transition Program, through Orientation, Host Scheme and its involvement with faculties, student support services, and other areas of the university, aims to improve the transition experience of all Monash students so that you have a more satisfying first-year. Useful information about the transition to university can be found at the Monash Transition Program web site: monash.edu.au/adjusting/

Orientation Orientation is your initial contact with the university. It involves your introduction to, and identification with, the university, a specific campus, your course, units of study (subjects), university staff, and the start of transition. Orientation today places greater emphasis on assisting first-year students with 'academic transition' during orientation. In this time you will find all faculties take the opportunity to introduce you to the teaching methods and manner of learning expected of you in the particular subject areas they offer. Orientation is a great way to meet staff and other students before classes start and you'll feel more comfortable and start fitting in right away. For campus-specific details, refer to your campus' Orientation 'What's On' guide and explore the Orientation website: monash.edu.au/orientation

Student Survival Week Student Survival week is conducted around Week 4 where there is the opportunity to seek out, access and utilise information, facilities and resources that are available to you. It enables you to focus on issues that have arisen in the first few weeks of university. On each campus, student associations focus on activities that suit your situation, such as helping with a range of academic programs, social activities and independent living skills which helps you to adjust to learning and have a more satisfying experience by gaining access to important information whilst having fun. During Student Survival Week you will have the opportunity to discontinue from units of study prior to the census date without being charged CSP or tuition fees, and having a 'fail' grade recorded on your academic record.

Take a guided tour and learn how to use the Library Students at University are expected to use the library as a study resource. You will need to refer to books and periodicals from the library right through your study program at university. University libraries are usually quite large places and are sometimes difficult to find your way around. So it makes sense to become very familiar with the library on campus as soon as you arrive at university. Make sure that you sign up for library tours and classes during orientation - they are essential for helping you to understand how to use the library effectively and efficiently.

Lectures and labs

Listening to lectures Language of the lecture and lecture hints When you are listening to a lecture, it is impossible to write down all the information presented. You therefore have to make judgments about what information is important and whether to note it down. Think about the following points in regard to your note-taking:

Page 10: Faculty of Engineering Survival Guide 2014 - Monash University · 3 Monash University Faculty of Engineering Monash University is a large organisation with approx. 63,000 students

9

Your position in the lecture theatre Don't be frightened of the lecturer. Sit close to the front, and look interested. You will hear and see better, and are more likely to find yourself in the company of committed students.

The lecturer's use of voice/body language The lecturer's use of repetition, a change of tone, meaningful pausing or an upraised finger, etc., may indicate important content. Listen and watch for these signals.

Lecture language A lecture is not a dictation exercise. You need to listen and make your own judgements about what you should write down. The following hints however, may help you.

Argument structure Words such as first, second, also, furthermore, moreover, therefore and finally indicate stages in the lecturer's argument. But and however indicate a qualification, because a reason, and on the one hand and on the other hand indicate a contrast.

"Signalling" words (used to indicate parts of the lecture) Introducing the lecture: "I want to start by..." Introduction of a main point: "The next point is crucial..." Rephrasing the main point: "The point I am making..." Introducing an example: "Take the case of..." Moving on to another main point: "I'd like to move on and look at..." A digression: "That reminds me of..." Summing up main points: "To recapitulate..."

Learning in labs

In many subjects in Science and Engineering, you will have to undertake experiments in a laboratory as part of the course. This experimental work is fundamental in developing your understanding of the theoretical knowledge in the subject and thus is integral to the coursework. Lab work also gives you practical, "hands on" experience in the use of equipment and the experimental techniques in your field. The lab work may consist of a number of tasks: preliminary work to be completed before the beginning of the lab, the experiment itself, questions asked by the demonstrator at the end of the experiment to check that you have understood the theory behind the experiment, and a lab report written either during the lab time or to be handed in at a later date. You will be given detailed guidelines about what is expected in labs in particular subjects, but here is some general advice about how to learn most effectively from the lab work.

Preparation for the lab Read the lab notes a few days before you attend the lab session so that you can discuss any problems with the lecturer. Become familiar with the theory behind the experiment by reading the relevant sections of your textbooks and lecture notes. Understand clearly what you are investigating in each lab. If you are not sure about any aspect of the theory or the experiment, ask your lecturer to give you a brief explanation. Complete any preliminary work set out in the lab notes. This work may include reading set chapters of your textbooks, or doing some calculations or problems. Make sure you know exactly what you are going to be doing in the experiment. Be clear about each step in the experiment, the equipment which you will need to use and what data you will need to record. Perhaps make a short 'action list' to follow in the lab.

Be prepared for your lab lesson

Read lab notes or textbook Do any set calculations or problems

During the lab Arrive on time so that you can listen carefully to the demonstrator's explanation of the experiment. If you are not clear about anything, ask your demonstrator. During the experiment, you can check with your demonstrator that you are on track and getting reasonable results. Be involved, ask yourself questions about what is happening and make predictions about what you will discover. Make sure you can explain any unexpected results to yourself. Note down any problems you have. You may need to discuss why you had these problems in the discussion of your results in the written lab report.

11

Getting the most out of your Lab session.

Ask questions Be on time Be involved

After the lab Clarify any important points you didn't understand by reading in your notes and books. Ask other students to clarify these or ask your lecturer. Revise - sit down and consolidate what you have learned (concepts and theory) from the experimental work. After the session, consolidate what you have learnt.

Clarify points with other students or lecturer Revise what you have learnt from the experiment

Source: monash.edu.au/lls/llonline/ A typical day at uni

Engineering students usually need to attend approx. 20 hours of classes through the week, but are then expected to undertake private study outside of class for another 28 hours per week (or 7 hours per unit) – nearly more hours than a full-time job! Classes can commence at 8.00am and continue until 6.00pm. Depending on your timetable, you may find that you have a day (or days) with minimal time for a break between classes, in comparison with days where you may only have one 1 hour class for the whole day. Your day will include a mix of lectures, labs and time to study or participate in university activities. You may find that you need to approach a lecturer to seek some advice, will spend time working with other students on an assignment or in a study group, undertake work in the computer lab and go to the library for research or individual study as well. Don’t forget that there will be seminars and other extra-curricular activities like clubs and societies meetings that you will go to, as well as time for lunch and catching up with friends. The overall key to success is being organised and achieving a balance between student life and other personal commitments such as part-time work, interests/hobbies and socialising!

Student experiences

Student: Faculty of Engineering As in any situation where you are joining a new institution, making new friends and getting used to unfamiliar environments were the most intimidating aspects of beginning uni. The sheer size and vastness of the campus is such that there are less 'hang out' zones where you will inevitably find friends in between lectures, thus it's a great idea to exchange timetables (or jot down gaps), arrange to meet people at cafes, etc. From an academic perspective, group work is quite challenging because you not only have to motivate yourself, but also must stimulate others to sufficiently get the job done.

The learning atmosphere is completely different to high school. Students are expected to learn more independently, and often the large, impersonal lectures, serve only to introduce you to new material which you are then expected to privately study. Most lecturers and tutors won't know your name, let alone your background, strengths and weaknesses. Self-motivation is the key, as no-one will hound you to get the next requirement in, even if it contributes towards your final mark. Engineering subjects are especially different to VCE subjects in that small, ongoing modes of assessment are more typical instead of three large assessment tasks per subject. However, the examinations are the most important facet of assessment and usually determine whether the student passes or fails.

Contrary to my initial beliefs, uni actually offers more support avenues than at school, but it is up to the student to seek these services. Anything from study/career advice to sexuality discussions are available to students, so I recommend you make the most of the help on offer. Depending on how locally you live to uni, I recommend getting a car or organising car pooling with friends. In order to finance a car and entertainment expenses, it's a good idea to find a job if you can fit it in. After a couple of months, I was able to reflect on my transition and feel as though I belonged at uni. If I had any transition advice to offer, it would be to go on as many camps and join as many clubs as possible, especially those relating to your course early on - this is one guaranteed way to meet new friends. Throughout the year, try to achieve a balance in your life - neither drowning yourself entirely in copious amounts of beer nor burying your head in the books is recommended. Instead aim for a comfortable pass whilst enjoying other sporting and social interests. If learning the material doesn't motivate you to pass, think of that extra time spent at uni if you fail a subject or two every year. Where possible, try to get copies of notes and material in advance, so that you have time to absorb what the lecturer is saying during the lecture, instead of mindlessly dictating material - a job better suited to the photocopier if necessary. If you have any problems bounce ideas off anyone you know in the course ahead of you, for example a mentor. Student: Faculty of Engineering Unfortunately my transition into university was a very bumpy ride. My first year has taught me many lessons that I would like to pass on to you as a first year student. It is important to keep in mind at all times that university life is much different to high school. There is much less pressure and it really comes down to keeping yourself motivated and exercising self control.

My first downfall at university was the freedom and adult treatment you receive. Don't get me wrong, this is a great thing. I just could not handle the lack of pressure. Turning 18, getting my licence and going out to nightclubs with new Uni friends did not help either. I also work 15hrs (FRI, SAT, SUN) and being at uni five days a week was a bit stressful with work as well. There was not enough time for study and just a day to not do anything. I began to fall behind with work and was fooling myself by thinking that it would all be under control by exam time. Was I wrong! I underestimated the amount of work that needed to be done. As a result I failed a subject that I had to repeat.

Second semester seemed a lot brighter at the beginning, but I was too lazy to continue with work. It became tradition for some of us to miss the 4-6pm tutorials or the late afternoon classes and this put me further behind in my studies. I did not learn from first semester and again I failed ... not one subject but three!!

The summer break has been a good time for me to think about my future and just how serious I am about it. The fact is I don't want to end up without a degree. I want to be an Environmental Engineer. For me to have any hope in improving my results I have to review the last year and determine my weaknesses. I am now going to repeat my failed subjects. I will not be doing classes with my friends and will be a semester behind. The following points emphasise what I have learnt. I hope you find them useful: • Always do the work that is set for you. Even if you don't have to hand it in, it is set for a reason. • Read all the handouts you are given. It is easy to just put them anywhere and forget about them, but lecturers don't

photocopy notes just for fun!! • University is a great place to meet people and have a good time. I guarantee you will have fun but you have to find a

balance. • Go to the tutorials. It is the best time to ask questions and to keep yourself up to date. • If you have any problems during the year, do not let them grow. See the Course Adviser and you will be guided on

what to do or who to speak to. This is what I wish I had done at the start of the year. • Join the mentor scheme. I did not take advantage of it. Make it a point that you speak to your mentor and gain as

much knowledge as possible. A mentor has a lot of experience.

Don't let university deceive you. There is always more work than what there appears to be. You are only fooling yourself if you attend lectures and think you are fine. Homework is one of the keys to passing. I would like to wish you the best of luck in your studies. Source: monash.edu.au/adjusting/
