This document discusses integrating academic skills into university curriculums. It suggests shifting away from seeing weaknesses as individual learner deficiencies and instead recognizing opportunities within course content. Academic skills requirements should be identified for each course, including when those skills are needed. A gap analysis can determine what skills development is already built into the curriculum, what students require, and responsibilities. Academic skills can be integrated implicitly, explicitly, or extra-curricularly. The document recommends promoting skills through contextualizing them within subjects, reinforcing them in class discussions, highlighting them in assessments, portraying a positive attitude, and allowing student reflection.
