Looking for a welcoming space to delve into your study queries on a personal level? Whether you’re wrestling with referencing styles, writing structures, or diving into complex unit content, Curtin’s Peer Academic Mentoring (PAM) service is here to help you level up your academic skills.
At each session you will see one of our Mentors, or ‘PAMs’ – current students who are thriving in their studies and are enthusiastic about guiding their peers. Our Mentors come from diverse disciplines (Nutrition, Engineering, Commerce, Anthropology and more!), ensuring that support is not limited to general academic skills, but extends to faculty or course-specific inquiries as well.
PAM sessions can be either in-person or online, accommodating the diverse needs of students. For face-to-face interactions, TL Robertson Library Level 4 is your destination – we are located in Room 404! And if you prefer an online meeting, Blackboard Collaborate has you covered: join the session no matter where you are.
For a personalised and impactful session, bring your unit outline, assignment questions, and any draft work you’ve done. This allows your Mentor to provide more targeted and effective guidance. Remember, these sessions are not just about resolving current assignment queries; they’re about empowering you with strategies for sustained excellence, allowing you to build on your own existing skills and knowledge. We can also introduce you to practical study resources, such as establishing productive routines, or strategies for tackling group projects.
Got a question today? We are here to support your academic journey every step of the way! Book your session with a Peer Academic Mentor via our webpage.
