This workshop will provide you with some strategies for making the best use of your time as an academic reader. You will learn about a range of strategies, including skimming, scanning, and blocking.

Working out effective ways to organise sources, include relevant information in your writing and ensure your work maintains academic integrity can be difficult. This session aims to answer your greatest questions on plagiarism and using academic sources. Learn to seamlessly incorporate sources with diverse vocabulary and proper grammar.

Congratulations and welcome to the Faculty of Science Dalyell Program!

What is a Dalyell student? What can I do as a Dalyell student in Science? How do I pronounce Dalyell?

We'll answer all this and more at this Science Dalyell Program Welcome event. Join us and all of your peers to learn what is required of you as a Dalyell Scholar and the Dalyell units of study available in the Faculty of Science. Hear from current Dalyell students about what it's really like and mingle with your new peers over a morning tea.

One of the most challenging aspects of transitioning to university is getting to know individuals when a lecture can have hundreds of people. However, meeting and making friends is a critical part of university life, so students are able to develop a support network that can continue throughout their degree to support their mental and academic well-being.

The Science Undergraduate Peer Mentoring Program is a fantastic opportunity for commencing undergraduate students to meet their peers and gain insight into University life with the help and guidance of a senior mentor. Our Mentors are trained to support your transition to University. They can answer any questions you may have, whether you need to know where to get help on a particular issue, tips and tricks on organising the best timetable or even where the best coffee on campus is - they know it all! 

We’ll kick this event with a playful speed networking activity to help you meet other first-year students from across all science majors. It’s the perfect chance to connect with people outside your mentor group and make new friends in a relaxed, welcoming environment. Afterwards, join us for a campus tour to get familiar with your new surroundings, followed by a BBQ where you can unwind, bond, and share some laughs with your new mates.

Date: Tuesday 4 March 2025, 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm
Location: ABS 5070, Level 5, University of Sydney Business School, Abercrombie Building (H70)
