16Undergraduate Study Essentials (cont.)How should I approach the course as a whole?Get to know as much as you can about your course. Find out through your Director ofStudies, your faculty website, your course handbook or your supervisors how your courseworks. Do you need a certain grade to do a certain paper the following year? Does yourchoice of subjects fit in to what you might want to do later in the course? When are the examsand how do they work? Being familiar with your course from the beginning will save you timeand worries later.How can I improve my study skills?Knowing how to study effectively will help you with your work throughout the year as wellas preparing you for exams. Ask your tutor about college-run workshops, talk to your facultylibrarian or visit the <strong>University</strong> Skills Portal: www.skills.cam.ac.uk. Ask students from yearsabove you what they wish they had known when they started, what they would do differently,and what worked well for them. Your College Academic Affairs Officer or Faculty Rep will alsobe happy to give you some tips.What about exams?Finding out the exam format, assessment criteria and when exams take place might not bethe first things you want to look into when you’ve just arrived and are excited about learningmore about your subject in the first place. But it can be helpful to bear this information inmind. Have a look at past exam papers, which are displayed on the faculty website or boundinto big volumes stored in college libraries, to get an idea of what will be expected of you.Reading previous examiners’ reports can be even more revealing, as they will tell you exactlywhat students did well in and what went wrong in the past.
