Information about ASU classes in specific faculties:

Community Access Program (CAP)

The University's Community Access Program allows students not enrolled in a degree program to take a single subject at the University. In conjunction with the Arts Faculty, the ASU offers the CAP subject Study Skills 100-101.

Study Skills 100-101

Study Skills 100-001 is a full semester subject in the Faculty of Arts that helps you develop your ability to learn, think analytically, research and write essays - essential skills to successful university study. In a big university, Study Skills 100-001 provides you with a small and supportive environment in which you can share experiences and knowledge with your peers while you are developing these key skills. Your lecturer will also provide you with personal feedback that will help you more fully develop your academic skills and adjust to the wider university community.

Study Skills 100-101 will be offered Semester 2, 2008 on:
