Study and Reading Weeks

This week brings us to the Study and Reading weeks, which means no lectures for most of you. But, hopefully, this time will allow you all can gain a little perspective. You'll likely be working hard on assessments and maybe even getting ahead on ones to come! But we hope you can also take time to let the content you are learning about from your lectures take root and transform you. As you work, we pray you grow closer to Jesus and learn to embrace the calling he has placed on your life.

Lectures are on hiatus until week 10, but there are a couple block courses happening on-site:

• Faith Formation in Children: 9-13 September
• Research Methods in Applied Theology: 16-18 September (followed by the CGS Research Conference on 19 September)

Assessment Support

As you are working, you may come to a point where you need a bit of help. Don't worry, because support is never far off. The library team are keeping normal hours, and Denise, Jarrahmal, and Jacqui are available to chat and help as well.

Don't forget about the 10 Essentials found on CareyOnline. These are invaluable resources that can make a massive difference as you complete your work, and they are a great place to start!

Also, if you feel like you may need an extension, complete this Application for Extension form and send it to Neroli.

How to view marker feedback

Did you know that your lecturers provide feedback on your assessments? Not just a number grade, but actual comments? More than that, these comments provide you with constructive feedback that you can use to help crush your future work. Check out this video to see how to access this critical feedback of your work!
