Rate My Professor Julie Godwin

Godwin's research specializations include students' beliefs about the nature of knowledge and learning, mismatches in learning environment expectations as predictors of persistence, and peer learning. Key publications encompass 'Developing Information Literacy and Academic Writing Skills Through the Collaborative Design of an Assessment Task for First Year Engineering Students' (2015), 'An Exploration of Epistemological Beliefs, Learning Environment Expectations and Persistence Intentions: Insights into the Shaping of Student Persistence in the First Semester of University Study at Three Australian Universities' (2018), and 'Reconceptualising student experience: Creating inter-connections between the curricular, co-curricular and technologies into a seamless place of learning' (2013). She also authored interactive learning resources such as the Student Success Planner series on assignments, exams, managing information, presentations, and working together (2013). Godwin's contributions to student learning have been recognized with two national Carrick Citations for Outstanding Contributions to Student Learning in 2006: one for sustained excellence in creating an inclusive first-year learning community with developmentally appropriate opportunities, and another for exemplary support of non-traditional students enhancing engagement with higher education and academic literacies (both team awards). In 2011, she received the UNE Faculty of Arts and Science Award for Excellence in Teaching and Learning for leadership, implementation, and development of PASS programs for first-year students in mathematics, statistics, and chemistry units. Her work has significantly influenced first-year student success and persistence in science disciplines at UNE.
