Swin With Me Swinburne Peer Assistants

Masooma, Minura, David and Jenni count down through the last teaching weeks of the semester, SWOTVAC, and the exam period, to tell a few stories and give a bit of advice for each stage of the end of a university semester. They chat about managing stress and procrastination, figuring out where and how to start when you've got lots of study to do, and how to approach your teachers or peers for help.

David, Masooma, Minura and Jenni chat about what they're studying at Swinburne, and compare the differences between their courses and how their classes work. They also reflect on the unexpected and challenging aspects of their study.

Masooma, David and Minura take a look at Swinburne's new slogan, "There's More to Uni than Uni" to see what it means for students, discussing the benefits of joining clubs, volunteering and going on study tours as extra-curricular activities. They then head out to see what other students think of the new slogan and what it means.

Joshua from last season joins David and Masooma to chat about how he's going out in the real world, and how he's developing his career. Josh talks about his experience on a placement during his degree, then the hosts are joined by our guest, Shirley Martino from Careers and Employability to see what we can all do to improve our employability.Link to SwinEmploy service: https://swin.careerhub.com.au/Link to Create Your Career event: https://www.swinburne.edu.au/events/departments/current-students/2019/09/create-your-career-day-2019.php
