Course details
FedReady has been designed with new students in mind. If you’ve never studied at university, you’ve had a big break from tertiary education, or you just want to make friends and meet support staff, this course is for you. However, continuing students are welcome to join too.
FedReady will give you the academic skills you need to succeed at uni. You’ll learn how to:
- plan assignments
- think critically
- reference correctly
- manage your time
- use Moodle and other systems
- navigate the library
- access key support services.
The course is self-paced and includes six interactive modules, each with short sub-lessons of about 15 minutes. You can work through them whenever it suits you, without any pressure.
We recommend setting aside about 10 hours to complete it, and it’s best to finish before classes start.
