Introduction

Welcome to MME101 – Business Academic Skills. The aim of this unit is to develop

the reading, writing and analytical skills needed to be able to engage successfully

in academic study at Deakin University. These skills are also vital for career and life

success.

Communication skills in the form of reading and writing are important to your

career. The focus on your ability to read and write effectively will assist you to be

able to speak and write clearly, confidently and coherently. The organisation who

employs you as a Deakin graduate will expect that your written skills in particular

will be based on objective information from credible authors. Certainly there are

other skills essential for career success:

•problem solving

•analytical thinking

•learning skills

•interpersonal skills

•group collaboration skills.

You will develop and enhance these skills during your studies at Deakin.

Consider yourself as both a reader and a writer in becoming a university student.

You will read extensively to learn what others say about the topics you study and

understand and analyse the view of others. During your Deakin studies you will

write reports, academic essays, short answers, case studies and deliver

presentations for tutors, assignment markers, study groups, and perhaps

postgraduate applications in the future. You are encouraged to take advantage of

your studies to acquire reading and writing skills that form the foundation of

professional knowledge and to build on these skills to become the professional that

employers will want to have in their organisations.

This study guide is arranged into a number of topics. Each topic comprises:

•an introduction

•learning objectives

•key skills

•learning resources

•key terms and concepts

•learning content.

For this first week, following introductory exercises to work with other students,

your tutor will present the unit guide, comprising the unit outline, calendar/planner

and assessments. These important documents give you an overview of the unit,

the learning objectives, details of assignments and other important information

related to the unit.
