In conversation with the Vice Chancellor – Creating a university for the future
|
|
Join UniSA’s Vice Chancellor, Professor David Lloyd, and USASA President, Isaac Solomon, at a student forum for an update about the vision, ambitions and aspirations for creating a potential new university for the future.
You can share your views, thoughts and ideas on what attributes should be considered when building this vision. A decision to form a new university has not been made, so this is an opportunity to have your voice heard. |

What is Academic Integrity?
|
|
Throughout your studies, it is important to demonstrate Academic Integrity in all aspects of your degree. But what is Academic Integrity and why does it matter?
“The word ethics kind of comes to mind.” – Sarah Kim, Master of Teaching
“It is important to submit work of your own because it shows the lecturer that you know what you’re talking about.” – Claudia Schwarzkopf, Bachelor of Primary Education (Honours)
“Behaving in an honest and truthful way in your student life will eventually help you get to where you want to be in the future.” – Vinavie Gayara, International Master of Business Administration
“I
think it’s really rewarding when you create your own piece of work that’s a little bit different than anyone else’s.” – Andy Morran, Bachelor of Social Science
Your critical thinking skills, unique perspective and ideas are what make your work stand out, just like your fingerprint. Visit our website to find out more about Academic Integrity and how to put it in practice for your exams and assessments.
You can also register for the Academic Integrity workshop on Wednesday 5 April, 11.00am – 1.00pm at City West campus. There you will meet experts giving advice on Academic Integrity processes and policy, and what you must do if facing academic issues. |

Master critical thinking skills for success at university and beyond
|
|
As a key component of learning, critical thinking is essential for your academic success and helps you become a better thinker. It allows you to make well-reasoned arguments in your essays or assignments.
Here are some tips for good critical writing:
1. Writing must be clear and concise. Keep descriptions to a minimum and avoid emotional language and jargon.
2. Select only the most important or controversial points to examine in detail and summarise the arguments.
3. Sequence the information in a logical order that helps readers to understand the line of reasoning.
Learn
more about critical thinking and explore other valuable resources on the Study Help page. |

Free flu vaccination available to all UniSA students
|
|
Book in for your free flu vaccination appointment through the UniSA Health Medical Clinic, with appointments available at various times during April and May. Experts are predicting that we may experience an earlier peak in cases this year and the flu vaccine can reduce the risk of extended down time from study and work.
On the day of your appointment, you will need to bring your student ID card, Medicare or Overseas Student Health Cover card, and wear clothing that allows easy access to your upper arm. Be prepared to wait 15 minutes after your vaccine. |

Learn how to manage the feeling of loneliness
|
|
Are you feeling lonely or isolated from others? This workshop will help you understand how loneliness impacts your wellbeing, and provide strategies to manage the feelings of loneliness and isolation and feel better about yourself during this difficult period.
You will also learn how to challenge less helpful ways of thinking, as well as mindfulness skills and self-compassion to enhance coping and build resilience. |
