However, students may ONLY refer to their unit study materials (Lecture/Class Notes, Seminar Notes and Topic Guides) and prescribed text. If using content from these materials it MUST be paraphrased (i.e., presented in your own words) AND MUST be appropriately referenced using APA Referencing.
• The EoUA will be released on the unit CloudDeakin site in the Content area, under Assessment Resources at the date/time scheduled in the University EoUA T1 2024 timetable.

• Complete the revision as recommended by the unit chair.
• Before the EoUA, think about the content covered in the unit. Think about the type of questions which could be asked and prepare notes related to those questions.
• Note that you areunlikely to have accessto e-textbooks provided through the Deakin Library during your EoUA due to licensing constraints, therefore, you should prepare your own study notes in advance.
