Academic Reboot Pack 2.0: aid to successfully complete 2016 academic year
2016-10-28

Description: Academic Reboot Pack  Tags: Academic Reboot Pack  

The University of the Free State (UFS) is committed to completing the academic year in the interest of our students who want to complete their studies, as well as the country which desperately needs graduates to grow the economy.

The UFS has developed a strategy to rescue the academic year, which will allow students to continue with their learning and achieve outstanding assessments (assignments, tests, and exams), whether they are on or off campus.

As part of this strategy, the UFS has developed the Academic Reboot Pack 1 and now Academic Reboot Pack 2.0. The aim of Reboot Pack 2.0 is aimed at providing students with practical steps on how to:
-          Get information on what they need to do,
-          Access online material – and where appropriate – printed material in the most cost-effective way,
-          Prepare effectively for academic assessments (tests, assignments, and exams),
-          Manage their time,
-          Manage stress and where they can get support.
