Empowering University & High School Students
ENG1514 is the “Mechanics of English” module. It is designed for future Foundation Phase teachers (Grade R-3). You aren’t just learning grammar for yourself; you are learning the metalanguage (words used to describe language) so you can explain it to a 7-year-old. The exam doesn’t just ask “What is a noun?”; it asks “How would … Read more
Welcome to ENG1503. If you treat this module with respect, it will boost your GPA. If you treat it as “just an English subject,” you will fail. The core lesson of this module is simple: Stop writing like you talk. In high school, you were rewarded for flowery, emotional creative writing. In university, that will … Read more
POL3701 is often the module that shocks students. You can’t just memorize facts like you do in other modules. You have to philosophize. You have to argue whether the state has the right to tax the rich to feed the poor, or whether freedom is more important than equality. Many students fail because they describe … Read more
In Criminology, we usually focus on the offender: Why did he do it? How do we catch him? OVM3701 flips the script. It asks: Why her? Why now? Victimology is not just the study of victims; it is the study of the dynamic relationship between the criminal, the victim, and the criminal justice system. Many … Read more
CRI3701 is the module where you learn how to handle the most unpredictable element in a courtroom: The Human Witness. Many students fail this module because they confuse the rules of who can speak (Competence) with who must speak (Compellability). They also struggle with the strict rules of Cross-Examination. To get a distinction, you need … Read more
LEV3701 is where the rubber meets the road. In other law modules, you learn what a crime is. In this module, you learn if you can prove it. Many students fail because they treat this like a memory test. They memorize the definition of Hearsay, but when the exam gives them a scenario about a … Read more
COS1511 is not just about learning C++; it is about learning how to think like a computer. Many students fail this module not because they don’t understand the theory, but because they cannot write code that compiles on a piece of paper (or in an exam environment). This guide moves beyond the textbook definitions to … Read more
STA1610 is where many students first encounter “real” statistics. Unlike high school, where you could often get by with common sense, this module requires you to understand probability theory, sampling distributions, and the logic of hypothesis testing. The secret to passing STA1610 is knowing which calculator mode to use and understanding the why behind the … Read more
INF2611 is where your programming skills start to look “real.” You stop writing code that just outputs text to a console and start building actual windows with buttons, menus, and input fields. The module uses Python combined with the PyQt framework. The challenge isn’t just knowing Python; it’s understanding how to make Python “talk” to … Read more
INF2603 is often the first time students encounter the “backend” of software development. It moves you away from coding logic (like loops and if-statements) into the world of Data Storage and Design. The module is split into two distinct skills: Design (drawing how data relates) and Implementation (writing the code to manage that data). To … Read more
