I think the first thing is the understanding of referencing and plagiarism for students, because it's certainly a lot more ...
it's a lot stricter and it's a lot more ... it's harder to navigate and harder to understand those things at a university level.
And it's also an official process, and it's something that you can get in serious trouble for.
So I think the magnitude of that doesn't sink in until students start at university level.
So the message is to try to understand those issues and plagiarism, how to write properly ...
how to reference other people's work is critical early on.
So I think an understanding of that as early as possible, I think, it's paramount.
A lot of our students as a pathway do the university preparation program, UPP.
That is a useful way of adjusting to university life as well as writing skills.
We also promote the Unistart program a lot, and I think that's critical as an investment of undestanding ...
of what's required and practising those skills. So UPP, Unistart, and as well as using online resources that are available ...
at the university, in terms of understanding what referencing is, what plagiarism is ...
what academic integrity is. So I think for students to be prepared ...
do some preparatory courses, and then also do some of their own research as well.
