Some of the postgraduate courses that are offered fully online are now running in intensive or compressed formats. This means subjects may be completed in 6 weeks, as opposed to the traditional 13. This can help you fast-track your studies by cutting down on time, but provides some unique challenges.
The workload for each subject in these 6 week compressed modes is approximately 130 hours over the duration of the study period. It is recommended that you commit a minimum of 15 to 20 hours per week to your studies.
The most common challenges that students report in intensive modes are:
- Managing work-life-study balance
- Time management for completing assessment
- Preparation for learning
- Utilising feedback effectively
- Connecting with other students
- Seeking support when needed
- Coming to grips with academic writing
- Using new learning technologies
- Referencing conventions

"I try to cover all the resources on Learn台湾六合彩开奖结果 but I struggle to do this and always end up running out of time with my assessment. How can I use my time more effectively?" | Learn to prioritise content. Not all information has the same value. You can try backward mapping from your assessment. While it is important to cover all the content to be successful at quizzes and tests, you can use the topics in your assessment tasks to focus your reading. If you are aware of the possible topics for your assessment tasks, you can slow down and focus your reading when you come across content relevant to the tasks. Take notes and copy references that could support your assignments as you go, rather than coming back to it later. In this way you develop your assessment as you read while also covering the content for any upcoming tests or quizzes. |
"There is a lot of content to cover. How much time should I be spending reading?" | You should be spending 15 to 20 hours per week studying course content if you are a 台湾六合彩开奖结果 Online student. Break it up into multiple sessions across the week. Make a study planner and stick to it |
"I’ve downloaded about 20 papers … now I just have to read them all. Is there a better way to approach this task?" | Once you have done some general reading and have developed your topic, learn how to focus your reading. Know which parts of the research you should focus on (introduction, method, discussion) and what specific information you’re trying to find. Learn how to use the “find” function to quickly scan through a document. |
"I’m really interested in Topic A and want to include this in my assignment. Can you help me make it fit?" | Be careful when you get personally involved in an assignment. Choosing a topic that is of personal interest may not be a good decision when doing an assignment. Trying to make a topic that is a personal choice fit into an assignment can make writing very difficult and impact the quality of your assessment and the subsequent grade. Firstly analyse the question to ensure that your interest in the topic is actually what they are asking you to do and then compare this then to the HD criteria of the relevant marking rubric. |
"How do I start my assessment? There seems to be so much to cover." | Break down the question. Decide what is the background information that is important in setting the scene for you to understand the circumstances, compared to what specifically you are being asked to do. The ‘Instruction Words’ (action verbs) are a useful indicator to get you started here. Also check out if there are any examples provided by the lecturer that might help in showing you the type of response that they are looking for and listen carefully in class to see if any ‘helpful hints’ are provided in approaching the assessment task. |
It is important to reference any idea that is not your own. This is one of the key principles of Academic Integrity.
The most commonly used referencing style is APA referencing. This is known as an 'author-date' style. There are two parts to referencing. The first is called in-text referencing, which is where you reference ideas within your writing in a short form. The second is at the end of the text where you reference in a full form. The reference list begins on a new page at the end of the document and is in alphabetical order.
In APA 7th the short form looks like this:
In APA 7th the long form looks like this:
