BU101 is a comprehensive academic preparation program accessible through a joinable link on Sakai. Students can complete the full program or select individual lessons based on their needs. Each lesson includes videos, tutorials, interactive activities, and links to additional resources.
We offer a collection of individual learning tutorials that can be linked to your course Brightspace site. These tutorials (formerly Academic-Zone) cover topics such as essay writing, academic integrity, lab reports, math and statistics prep, time management, and grammar.
