Voices Magazine

17 August 2018 | VOICES Bi-Monthly Magazine of the University of Technology, Jamaica “I would advise them as it relates to assignments and exams, to listen to their tutors when they tell them they should start studying from the start of the Semester. You should start reading over, because when those thirteen (13) weeks end and you have to go back to read everything that you have already done, it’s really hectic so you should start as soon as possible.” Janell Plowright Joint Colleges of Medicine, Oral Health and Veterinary Sciences Course of Study: Bachelor of Science in Occupational Health and Safety, Year 3 “My advice is that they should constantly check the Students’ Portal for important updates.” Shandy Morris Faculty of Engineering and Computing Course of Study: Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, Year 3 STUDENT VOICES “UTech, Jamaica is a good place to start; it allows you to grow in every aspect of your life. My advice is start becoming friendly with the Student Portal. The information that passes through that platform can help students to stay current with the activities of the University. Also I would advise students, try your very best not to get delisted” Danniell Brown Faculty of Education and Liberal Studies Course of Study: Bachelor of Arts in Communication Arts and Technology, final year “My advice is that they should ensure that they get all the necessary help that they can. If they have friends from previous years, ask them what it was like and what are the necessary channels to take to resolve any problem that they may have. My brother will start here in August, so, being a student here, I can help him. Another word of advice, study, study, study! You have to study and follow up with your course outline. If you don’t understand something and your lecturers are approachable, go and talk with them. You could send an email - make sure you have an email address for your tutors and lecturers so that if you have any queries, you can be in touch with them.” Sherika Cato College of Health Sciences Course of Study: Bachelor of Science in Childhood and Adolescent Development, final year
