CSU Online Resources: CSU offer some valuable online resources – even a course titled “Introductions to learning online”. You can access online information about online forums, my CSU etc, as well as a brief overview of the learning online course, via: http://www.csu.edu.au/_data/assets/file/0011/126983/CSU-Online.swf
In addition, the Learning Skills webpage has information and resources on topics such as essay writing, time management, referencing, critical thinking, plagiarism etc. You can access this web page through:
I encourage you to become familiar with these resources. If you have any questions, or would like help navigating the web pages, please don't hesitate to contact me: phone 88388914 or email secarroll@csu.edu.au.
If you are already utilising these resources or will be in the future, I would be very interested in your feedback on how useful (or not) the online resources are and also whether or not the resources available are helpful for your studies.
In addition I encourage you to continue utilising the services of the Study Skills tutor, Carolyn Craig-Emilsen and the Library Confidence Facilitator, Adele Smith.
FROM THE CHAPEL
The college holds a service of Word and Sacrament every Wednesday at 11.45. This week’s lectionary readings: Acts 8:26-40, Ps 22:25-31, 1 Jn 4:7-21, Jn 15:1-8. All welcome.
FROM THE STUDENT ASSOCIATION
Following a request from students, the UTC Student Association recently asked if Uniting Venues could provide recycling bins in the student kitchen. Uniting Venues were pleased to do this as part of improving the environmental sustainability of the Centre for Ministry.
To ensure this important initiative is successful, students need to take care with the items they place in the recycling bins. Bottles, cans etc. need to be rinsed before being placed in the recycling bin. The paper recycling bin is only for clean, unsoiled paper, not paper that has been contaminated with food or oil (eg pizza boxes). Used paper towels and disposable cups are not suitable to place in the paper recycling bin.
This is also a good time to remind students that the cleanliness of the student kitchen is the responsibility of all students. Dishes used should be washed up by the user, not left for others to clean. Benches that become dirty should also be wiped clean.
Thank you for your help to make the Centre for Ministry a pleasant and sustainable place to study.
If you have any further enquires please contact a member of the Student Association Executive or Suzanne Stanton (Hospitality Committee).
