Gaps in academic literacies at Tertiary entry level
Academic writing – Presenting logical arguments using third person; supported with evidence
Critical thinking and reflection skills - not able to reflect critically about assignments
Digital literacy – online courses necessitate a certain level of fluency that makes it difficult for some students

Difficulties with synthesizing information
Understanding the assignment tasks, doing what is asked
Information/research literacy skills – including how to
critically evaluate information and sources
Referencing – many students have difficulty with the why and how of APA referencing. Is this taught at secondary school?
