May the fourth be with you…

It’s that time of the year: summer assessments. You've been working hard all semester, and assessments are a great opportunity for you to showcase your skills, receive feedback and reflect on your progress. However, we appreciate that this can be a daunting time so we’re here to help #UoBeReady as you can be.
