PASS program in Contract B<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>This semester, the Law Faculty is introducing Peer Assisted Study Sessions (PASS) to Contract B.\u00a0 PASS is built around group discussion and active participation under the guidance of the PASS mentors, 2nd and 3rd year students who have been successful in the unit.\u00a0 The goals of PASS are to help you develop both confidence in Contract B but also the study strategies that will assist you in all your units.\u00a0 It&#8217;s all about effective and efficient study, and having the opportunity to talk to your peers about any concerns you may have with Contract B or more generally about being a successful uni student.<\/p>\n<p>PASS is new to Law, but not new to Monash, and the evidence shows that regularly attending PASS sessions not only significantly improves your chances of achieving a high grade in the unit but also improves the quality of your university experience.<\/p>\n<p>We will offer ten one-hour study sessions each week.\u00a0 You will be able to sign up for PASS in Contract B from 9.00am on Monday.\u00a0 Just go to the Contract B Allocate+ page and choose the PASS session that best fits your timetable.\u00a0 PASS sessions start in Week 3, and will run through to Week 12.<\/p>\n<p>Please see attached slides for more info!<\/p>\n<p>For further information please see <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.monash.edu\/lawstudentbulletin\/files\/2011\/08\/1.8.11-PASS_intro_slides_for_Contract_B_Sem_2_2011_27Jul20111.pdf\">PASS program for Contract B<\/a><\/p>\n<h4><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">3. T2-58 Units -SETU Surveys Closing Soon<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Could those students\u00a0enrolled in the T2-58 Units, which are the Prato, Malaysian and T2 JD Units, please note the SETU surveys for these Units\u00a0 which opened on the 22nd July\u00a0<strong>will close shortly\u00a0on Friday 5 August<\/strong>. Can you please\u00a0ensure that\u00a0you have complete all of your\u00a0online SETU surveys for the T2-58 Units before this deadline? You\u00a0can access these\u00a0SETU surveys\u00a0via your\u00a0 my.monash portal.\u00a0 You may not realise this but if\u00a0the student responses in a Unit are below\u00a05 then the University will not give us\u00a0 a Unit evaluation report for that Unit\u00a0 So if you really\u00a0want to make your voice heard then\u00a0you need\u00a0to get online and tell us what you\u00a0think!<\/p>\n<p>We do\u00a0appreciate you making some\u00a0comments about what you\u00a0thought about the Unit. However,\u00a0this\u00a0needs to\u00a0be constructive praise and\u00a0and criticism\u00a0about things like the Unit design and not comments about the individual teachers please. We particularly\u00a0do not want you\u00a0to write any comments of an offensive nature that are in breach of the University\u2019s Equal Opportunity Policy\u00a0:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.monash.edu.au\/equity-diversity\/policies\/equal-opportunity-policy.html\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.monash.edu.au\/equity-diversity\/policies\/equal-opportunity-policy.html<\/a> or comments that refer specifically to individual teachers. If\u00a0you\u00a0stick to\u00a0just writing comments about the Unit design then you\u00a0should be OK. Currently the SETU survey does not ask for any student comments about the teachers.<\/p>\n<p>Many thanks for helping us with this as\u00a0we do use your\u00a0comments about\u00a0the Units and the SETU reports to help us to continually improve the quality of our Units.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget that you can look at the Unit evaluation reports for each Semester online at:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/emuapps.monash.edu.au\/unitevaluations\/wr\/uewr_rp1_public_yearseme.jsp\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/emuapps.monash.edu.au\/unitevaluations\/wr\/uewr_rp1_public_yearseme.jsp<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000\">.: End of Student Gazette 01.08.2011 :.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1. 2011 Sydney Law School Postgraduate Students Conference &#8211; Call for Papers Venue: Sydney Law School New Law School Building, Eastern Avenue, University of Sydney (Camperdown campus) For directions please click here Date: Thursday 27 \u2013 Friday 28 October, 2011 Participation in the conference will provide an opportunity to present research projects to students and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":224,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[60],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.monash.edu\/lawstudentbulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2486"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.monash.edu\/lawstudentbulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.monash.edu\/lawstudentbulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.monash.edu\/lawstudentbulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/224"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.monash.edu\/lawstudentbulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2486"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.monash.edu\/lawstudentbulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2486\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2498,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.monash.edu\/lawstudentbulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2486\/revisions\/2498"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.monash.edu\/lawstudentbulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2486"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.monash.edu\/lawstudentbulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2486"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.monash.edu\/lawstudentbulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2486"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
