Our Video

This is our final video for this blog. Each of our team members filmed themselves introducing and
explaining the subtopics that we all wrote about.

Member contribution: Each member filmed their own art individually according to discussions we had in class about ideas for the video. Then, each group member came to the next class with their video on a USB and gave it to Emma. Emma then combined all of the clips together with her own to create this video. She then sent it to the group members via Facebook chat and Wikispaces before uploading to ensure everyone liked and agreed with the final look of the video.

How to Best Study for an Exam

There are a few steps I go through to study for an exam, and to basically mentally prepare myself!!

Firstly, I obviously write down when all of my exams are for certain classes- this helps me to prioritise my time. I also like to start studying about 2-3 weeks out from the exam, as any sooner I would forget stuff and I’m usually busy completing assignments anyway!

I have compiled my study process into 7 easy steps for you all to follow!

Step 1: Hand write a glossary for all terms

Step 2: Include any examples if needed

Step 3: Hand write all/any flow charts (e.g. structures, order of things for example a business buying process)

Step 4: Highlight all key words

Step 5: Transfer my glossary onto an app called StudyBlue, a free app for iOS and Android systems that helps you test yourself

Step 6: Read over handwritten notes a lot and get tested on those by a friend

Step 7: Then test myself on StudyBlue twice daily up until the exam

If you follow these steps I can almost guarantee you will be ready for exams in no time!

How to Best Complete an Assignment

I am a very planned out, organised person and so all of my assignments get planned out in a little notebook I got from Kikki K. I find it a lot easier to complete my assignments when I break it all down into smaller parts that I can tick off.

The first thing I do is write down what the class is, what the assignment is, when it is due and then what the word limit or other font requirements are for that particular assignment. It varies for each assignment, but I then decide what question/topic I want to do and I write that down as well. I will talk about this assignment as if I was doing an essay.

Then I create a checklist for the following things: find readings, dot point an introduction, dot point a conclusion, complete topic sentences for each paragraphs, dot point the paragraphs, write the introduction and conclusion and then write the paragraphs in full, with all references.

After that, it’s time to edit drafts #1 and #2, finalise all in-text references and bibliography in whatever style in needs to be in, go over it one more time and then hand it in.

I guarantee that if you break your assignments down into much smaller tasks, it will be easier to complete them to a great standard and on time!

In the Sport and Aquatic Centre, apart from going gym by using the fitness equipment or joining the group training, there is another activity for to chose, which is swimming. Personally, I prefer to go swimming instead of doing other exercises because I believe this is the most relaxed exercise and it can relieve physical fatigue.

In our campus, we have two swimming pools which are 25 metre pool and 50 metre pool. Those swimming pools are heated. For 25 metre pool, which is indoor pool and there is 29-30 degrees of the water; for 50 metre pool, which is outdoor pool and there is 26-27 degrees of the water.

Macquarie Shopping Centre - a retail destination for all

Situated just a short 10 minute walk from the centre of campus sits the hustle and bustle of Macquarie Shopping Centre. The newly renovated retail hub features an array of high end and affordable shopping destinations to satisfy every person’s tastes.

The newest addition to the centre is a second food court, boasting various healthy options for both dining in and take away. Some of my top picks for cafes to check out include The Missing Piece and the Vogue Café, famous for their assortments of cronuts and whimsical beverage concoctions.

The centre doesn’t die down after shopping hours are finished – restaurants and the entertainment quarter keeps the centre alive and buzzing well into the night. Event Cinemas, Strike Bowling and Laser Tag, and a selection of different cuisines are all easily accessible for uni students to relax a little after a long day.
