Need to find, access and use academic information for your assignments and research? The Academic Skills Centre and ECU Library provide resources and guides to help you. Visit:

Academic Skills @ ECU - for tip sheets and workshops on communication and academic writing.
ECU Library Home Page – for the ECU library catalogue, study guides, and support services.
Study Essentials – for key resources for your studies.

Familiarise yourself with essential subject and referencing guides

Spend a little time now to save a lot of time and trouble later by familiarising yourself with:

Science Subject Guides – for library resources specific to science, carefully curated for you by the library
Referencing Guide – for guidance on how to reference using the APA 7th style.
Student academic integrity website – for critical advice about how to avoid plagiarism

“If only I had visited the academic integrity website to understand what academic integrity is and how to avoid plagiarism, I wouldn’t have got ‘0’ for my assignment”
