FTVMS 101 - Learning Resources

Student Learning Centre 

At The Student Learning Centre (SLC) academic tutors teach process skills that are crucial to academic success. Their programmes cater for the learning needs of all students from first year undergraduates to postgraduates. They can help you improve your academic writing, even if it is already quite good, and if needed they can facilitate the development of effective academic learning and performance skills. The SLC specialises in helping those who encounter difficulties in their studies, but can also help students who are doing well to do even better. 

The SLC is located in the Information Commons, 9 Symonds St. The reception office is in Room 320. Opening hours are 9am-5pm, Monday through Friday.

DELNA

The University DELNA programme is designed to assist students by providing a profile of their abilities which can then be used as a basis for the further development of academic skills. Although we already provide some support within our Department, our resources are limited and the DELNA programme opens up an avenue of more carefully targeted assistance. This is just as useful to native speakers as it is for those with English as an additional language. Those who do not need assistance are reassured by the results.

More information about DELNA can be found at the DELNA Website.

ELSAC

Those who are already aware (or whose DELNA results reveal) that they need help with English reading, listening, speaking or writing should enrol at the English Language Self Access Centre in the Information commons. You will be able to direct your own learning with help from staff, who will help you get started and monitor your progress.

AV Library

Multiple copies of the major films we study, as well as a number of related films used as clips in lectures, are available for viewing in the AV library. AV library cards will be given out at the first tutorial (week 2).

Although there are multiple copies of many video texts do not assume that there will always be a copy waiting for you to use, particularly close to assignment deadlines.
