2. Developing as a Student - learning styles, information gathering / using the Library, note-taking, time management, and student life and social support.
3. Critical Thinking – critical analysis, online learning, and referencing / plagiarism.
4. Assessment and Support – group work, coursework, exams and revision, understanding and using feedback, and handling stress.

Student participation in the module is self-paced and mostly asynchronous, but there is an opportunity to communicate via discussion forums and live group chats.
