Kovsie Advice
The mid-year exams are creeping closer. That means endless hours – or that is what it feels like – of studying, and coffee by the dozens. You are not alone; the academic advising team from the Centre for Teaching and Learning has created a Kovsie Advice to help you during the dark times. 

This edition of Kovsie Advice will help you keep your eye on the prize during this upcoming mid-year exam. 

You can find tips on how to prepare for the exams, how to deal with exam stress, and how to overcome failures. Also be on the lookout for faculty-specific information from your faculty’s Teaching and Learning Office. 

Be inspired to aim for more, and to realise your dreams. 

Enjoy reading!
