Tūruki in te reo māori means to grow, move forward, and strengthen. Tūruki is intended to support your transition from high school into the University, specifically Health Science First Year (HSFY). As part of your first semester in HSFY you are required to take PHSI 191 (Biological Physics). Tūruki will guide you through the mathematical tools needed to succeed in physics. We will have a workshop on this in the first week of semester (Wednesday 26th February). To be ready for this you will need to complete each Tūruki lesson (approx. 20 minutes each day).
Emma is a Teaching Fellow within the Department of Physics. She is the course coordinator of JumpStart Physics, a lab supervisor for PHSI 191, and leads all Raukaha academic support for the PHSI 191 paper. You will see her many times throughout your first semester. Emma has experience in online education and a passion for making education accessible to all students.
