Shut Up and Write sessions are for you to get together regularly and focus on short, intense bursts of productive writing in a supportive environment, using the Pomodoro Technique.

Assessment Weightings Structure Feedback
ATTENTION POSTGRADS: ANUSA is reviewing the assessment weightings structure at ANU.
Currently, ANU policy states that all courses must have at least two pieces of assessment. However, there are no restrictions as to how large these assessments can weigh. A particular course could have two assessments weighing 90% and 10%, so long as it's approved by their college.
We want to hear your thoughts about assessment weightings and whether smaller or larger assessment weightings are more beneficial to your studies in this form.

Shut Up and Write (HDR)
6, 11, 12, 13, 19, 20, 26, 27 September
Shut Up and Write sessions are for you to get together regularly and focus on short, intense bursts of productive writing in a supportive environment, using the Pomodoro Technique. This technique involves writing in silence for 40 to 50 minutes bursts, with regular ten-minute rests for coffee, snacks and chatting. Chatting is a good way to have a ‘brain break’, especially between intense periods of focus. Writers work on their own tasks – there are no set exercises or group work. This is a great way to share methods, successes, challenges, and opportunities as writers. Read what the Thesis Whisperer says on how to Shut Up and Write works.

ANU Appeals Panel Student Nominations Open
The ANU Appeals Panel is a body that reviews disciplinary matters pertaining to students potential breaches of the code of conduct and academic integrity. Every year, ANUSA nominates students to the panel to sit alongside ANU staff members to review appeals under the Appeals Rule.
The Appeals Panel is great for students who have an interest or experience in dealing with complex problem-solving and ensuring that there is due process and natural justice provided to all parties. The workload is highly variable (varying from no work to several hours per week) depending on the number of appeals being made. The work can occasionally include distressing material.
All committee members must bring an impartial and open mind to consideration of each case, and look to make a fair and reasonable decision with regard to all the material before them. Nominees cannot be on academic probation.
If this opportunity is of interest to you, please send 150-200 words on why you're interested and any relevant experience to the ANUSA President, Phoenix O'Neill, at sa.president@anu.edu.au. It is expected that you will serve on the Panel for a period of 2 years (i.e., until the end of 2026). Applications close on 15 September at 5PM.
