Peer Assisted Study Sessions (PASS)

I'm a Literature major studying a Bachelor of Arts, this is my third degree. I graduated as a registered nurse in 2009 from QUT in Brisbane and I'm now completing my Masters of Counselling course at the same time as my Arts degree.

My best piece of study advice (from the experience of changing courses four times before finding the Arts course at CDU), is study what you are passionate about. If you're not passionate about your course, you won't have the motivation to complete your assignments.

I am currently studying electrical and electronics engineering internally through the Bachelor of Engineering Science/Master of Engineering. I developed an interest in electrical engineering when working as a technician in Defence.

I am looking forward to supporting CUC106 students succeed in their studies through group study sessions.

 I am studying Bachelor of Nursing here at CDU for a second degree (first was Bachelor of Food Science and Technology). I moved from Texas six years ago after a fair bit of travelling around. Originally a winemaker by trade, I have decided to switch careers and join the health field. I live in rural South Australia and love helping out on the farm. Looking forward to being a PASS leader!

Thanks,

Emory

I am going into my second year of nursing at CDU and will be doing it all online for the first time! Before I decided to start my nursing degree, I worked for a few years in cattle export industry in remote areas of the NT and after having finished my first year I am loving it and can’t wait to share this enthusiasm with other students.

Cultural safety in healthcare is a great subject and I am really looking forward to sharing my knowledge and experience with you all to help make this an enjoyable unit.

Hi! I'm Brigid and I am currently studying the graduate entry program for a Bachelor of Psychological Science, with the long term goal of becoming a clinical psychologist. I have a bit of a mixed background including a Bachelor of Arts majoring in Arabic, Master of Development Studies and previously worked in state politics in NSW for the past four years. I'm originally a Darwin local and moved back to Darwin a year ago - and loving it again! 

I completed PSY141 last year and thoroughly enjoyed the unit and its introduction to all of the fascinating, weird and wonderful elements of psychology. I am very much looking forward to being a PASS leader, getting to know other students and assisting them in navigating the unit.

He is currently working in a role focussed on Corporate Social Responsibility and Human Rights Compliance in Papua New Guinea, and is studying law at Charles Darwin University with a particular interest in the intersection of customary law and statutory law.

I am externally studying a Bachelor of Laws. As a current first year student, I can understand those overwhelmed and nervous feelings but also the excitement that comes with completing this core unit. I hope to use my enthusiasm and passion for not only the law but in particular LWZ115 to allow current students to succeed with excellent results.

Hello Everyone,

I am an international student from Nepal doing a Bachelor of Accounting. I will be conducting a Peer Assisted Study Session for ACT102. I am very excited to help and support students studying ACT102 in their studies through the group study session.

My best piece of study advice is to study the suggested textbook in detail along with the lecture notes and slides. This will help students to get in-depth knowledge of the topic and broaden their understanding. In addition, students should not forget to practice different types of question to build their confidence and obviously practising past exams questions will help students to understand what to expect in their final examination.

Hey all! I am currently in my third year of study in the Bachelor of Engineering Science/Master of Engineering Science (Mechanical). Usually preconceived as a difficult subject, I am really looking forward to meeting and assisting you to see and understand Dynamics (ENG252) from a whole new perspective, in a fun and supportive environment.

Have a great semester ahead!
