Dear NTI Students

 Academic Support is conducting a succinct half hour session on Advanced Searching. In this session, we will venture further afield than the class readings and basic searches in the online research databases accessible through NTI, to search for reputable quality sources which contribute to demonstrating your argument in your assessment.

 Topics covered, include:

• searching techniques
• widening your search
• evaluating search results

and we will leave you with some resources to peruse.

We welcome ABS, HB, HSW and MH students. Registration is essential and places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.

Dear NTI Students,

 Academic Support invites you to learn about the art of referencing as per NTI’s academic requirements through an interactive, hands-on workshop.

 Mastering the NTI Referencing Style: ABS/HB

Monday 16 March 2026, 2 pm (AEDT), allow up to 1.5 hours

This workshop consists of activities designed to teach you how to format standard and non-standard ABS/HB references at NTI. Non-standard references include canonical sources and sources whose authors have names with non-English religious titles. You are also encouraged to bring your own referencing attempts for sources used in your assessments so that these can be discussed (and potentially refined) as a group. The aim of this workshop is to equip you with the skills to use the NTI Harvard Referencing Guide confidently for sources that you will encounter throughout your studies.   

Please register using this link.

 Please note that places are limited due to the interactive nature of the workshop. Registration is essential and places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. Additional workshops might be run depending on demand (dates and times to be confirmed).

 Warm wishes,

The Academic Support Team

Dear NTI Students,

 Writing assessments in the digital age, with an increasing number of tools available to research, write and edit for us, can be difficult to navigate. Academic Support will run a workshop to equip you with the necessary skills to approach assessment tasks mindfully and ethically.

Assessment Writing Process Workshop

Monday 9 March 2026, 2 pm (AEDT), 1 hour

This workshop comprises a short presentation on the assessment writing process. You will be guided through the three steps that characterise a mindful and ethical approach to assessment writing:

·        Reflecting – making the process conscious

·        Documenting – making the process transparent

·        Acknowledging – making the process explicit

This will be followed by a Q&A where you can discuss your own process and share your experiences of writing for NTI assessments with your peers. This workshop will be particularly useful for you if you either lack confidence in writing for assessments or are unsure how to write with integrity in an increasingly GenAI world.

Please register using this link.

Please note that places are limited due to the interactive nature of the workshops. Registration is essential and places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. An additional workshop might be run depending on demand (date and time to be confirmed).

Warm wishes,

The Academic Support Team
