Hey everyone!

This is the very last padlet post for this semester and I cannot believe how quickly time has flown!

For a recap of the session this week, we had a total of 3 attendees. In the session, I did a quick rundown of the final bridge report and video. I also gave students time to work on their report and ask me questions they have.

I would like to wish everyone all the very best for the assessments you may have and your future units! I am sure all of you will achieve great results!

Vishnu :D

Hey everyone!!

It is the last week of semester already! Time has really flown by so quickly!

NOTE: THIS WEEK'S SESSION WILL BE HELD IN EN203 (NOT ATC424) ON WEDNESDAY FROM 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM!

This week you all will be having your final test in your tutorials so all the very best with that! I am sure you all will ace it!

Hello everyone!

I can hardly believe we’re already in week 7! Time is flying by so quickly. Hopefully you are all managing your tasks well and you’ve all submitted your bridge research reports.

Just a friendly reminder that our study group session takes place every Wednesday from 1:30 pm to 2:30 pm in ATC 422.

For this week, you’ll be diving into your first lab on trusses during your tutorial. To help you make the most of it, I’ll be a quick run-down of week 7 lab sheet and share some tips to ensure you’re efficient with your calculations.

Additionally, I’ll cover two truss-related questions, exploring both methods to solve them and also filling in any knowledge gaps you might have.

Of course, I’m here to clarify any questions you may have about this unit. So, bring your mates along, and I’ll see you there! 😊

This is a quick summary of the Q&A session held recently with lots of great questions about Study Groups answered!

Question

What can I do to get the most out of the study group? Is there anything I need to bring?

Answer

Watch the lecture first. Then bring any questions you have from that content. It’s a good starting point.

Q: Is there a chance to have one on one support out of the study group?

A: There is no official one on one support outside of the Study Group. However, an alternative is to contact the tutor of that unit within office hours and request a one-on-one support session. Another alternative is to join the study chat (you can join in a study groups session) and work with another student in the chat

Q: How many people attend the Study Group?

A: This varies quite a lot. The average is usually 6-7 but there can be less and there have been more in past Study Groups.

Q: What is the difference between Study Groups and Student Powered Study Squads?

A: Student Powered Study Squads are an alternative offered to all students of the subject if they cannot access the designated time for the 1 hour face to face Study Group that is already in place.

Students can register via the link on the “Study Groups at Swinburne” page on their unit of study Canvas. The student can input what time and day works for them, and whether they would like the Student Powered Study Squad to be run face to face or online.

Once registered, students will receive a confirmation email, and then a follow up email once the numbers to form a Student Powered Study Squad has been reached. This second email will attempt to find a common time and place to run the session.

Hello everyone,

After a very successful and exciting study group session last week, I am going to start focusing on technical content of this unit from the upcoming study group session!

Hence, for the next week's study group session, I will be going over some SPICY (Hard LOL) Equilibrium questions (Weeks 1 - 3 content) to help you revise and become a master at tackling Equilibrium questions and also fill any knowledge gaps you may have!

Since from this week onwards we will be moving to Module 2 which is all about Trusses, I will also start to touch on methods to solve truss problems!

So come along with your mates for some informative yet fun session for next week! I hope to see you all soon in the session :)

Vishnu :D

Hey, hey, all you Mech Magicians! Time to buckle up for some serious STUDY GROUP FUN! Week 3 is here, and we're cranking up the excitement to the max!

Picture this: You stroll into our first study session, and BAM! FREE FOOD is waiting to greet you like an old friend – thanks to our awesome 'Kick Off Café' 🍕🥤! Because nothing fuels our brain more than food and remember Food + Mechanics = Max Brain Power. But wait, there's more!

For our very first study group session, we're diving straight into the action with unit outline, study groups, and if you've been stressing about the bridge project, don't sweat it! I will go over that to ease your mind! 💡 Plus, I'll be sharing some killer study hacks straight from the procrastination pro – yours truly! 😂

But hold because that’s not all! We will also flex those brain muscles with some KAHOOT madness – unit-related questions and maybe even a few other fun Kahoot thrown in! And let's not forget about ICEBREAKERS! Get ready for some epic laughs (and awkward moments haha) as we bond and become study buddies! 🤝

Oh, and did I mention I'm here to tackle your burning questions too? Yep, whether it's about the unit, study strategies, Melbourne/Swinburne, I've got you covered!

So, mark your calendars, set those reminders, and get ready – every Wednesday from 1:30 – 2:30 pm in ATC 422/423 is where the fun's at! Can't wait to see your smiling faces and embark on this academic and fun adventure together!
