A solid foundation in first year is essential for a successful university career. Teaching and learning in upper year courses can be more effective and enjoyable if students get a good grounding in critical skills and develop the attitudes and habits that facilitate learning. Students and faculty alike must take responsibility for successful teaching and learning. We have proposed a wide range of recommendations covering all aspects of first year at Erindale.
Significant change is never easy.
We do not make these proposals lightly. We believe the changes we have put forward in this report address some of the serious problems we currently face at Erindale.
