ACS2760 Auditing A

Weekly Sessions
- This unit will be taught each week for 12 weeks as either 4-hours lectorial (voice recorded slides/face-to-face/online sessions with lecturer) OR a 3-hour lecture (voice recorded slides/face-to-face/online sessions) and a 1-hour tutorial (voice recorded slides/face-to-face/online sessions).
- A week-by-week semester program is provided to guide your study program and also to indicate assessment due dates.
- The lecturer will use her sessions with the students to cover significant points of each week's topic, discuss problems and apply the theory to practical examples. It is not intended that the lecturer will cover every aspect of each topic, but rather provide a framework of the important theoretical concepts and practical issues. Given this framework students are expected to attend all sessions and participate actively.
- At times the lecturer will invite students to raise and discuss relevant issues and areas of concern. Students should take this opportunity to clarify areas of difficulty and to contribute actively to the discussion.

Small groups/teams
- If you have allocated yourself to a tutorial group please stay in that group. This will prevent you from not obtaining participation marks, if applicable.
- You will work in groups/teams of 6 students every week and will be allocated to a group from Week 1.
- Participation: In order to participate and to gain maximum benefit from the tutorial sessions all the questions set for each week are to be attempted before the tutorial for that week.

Seen/Unseen questions
- Seen question solutions are available on Moodle for self-study before the topic is discussed.
- Unseen question solutions will be available on Moodle 1 day after the question was discussed. You need to attempt the unseen questions every week. All answers to questions will be loaded on Moodle after the last session for the week.
- Where necessary additional questions will be added to Moodle.
- Students should ensure their answers and notes are updated, taking into account feedback received in sessions, from slides and solutions to questions at the completion of each topic.

Representatives
1 representative per group will be selected.

Weekly Quizzes
You will complete the following quizzes every week:
- Socrative quiz: This quiz will be completed after a session with the lecturer on the topic every week.
- Moodle quiz: This quiz will give you access to the slides for every week. You will only obtain access to the slides if you score 100% in each week's quiz.

Self-leadership with your studies
- Students are responsible for their studies.
- Students are expected to spend 12 hours per week on this unit.
