Weekly Sessions
- This unit will be taught each week for 12 weeks a three-hour lecture (voice recorded slides/face-to-face/online sessions) and a one-hour tutorial (voice recorded slides/face-to-face/online sessions).
- We also make use of peer assisted learning techniques and will make use of multi modal teaching methods.
- 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.
- During lectures, students are encouraged to ask questions to clarify areas of difficulty and to contribute actively to the discussion.

Tutorial groups
- 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.
- 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 questions
- Seen question solutions are available on Moodle for self-study before the topic is discussed. The questions are selected from the prescribed question book or past paper questions are made available if a question is chosen from a past paper.
- 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, considering feedback received in sessions, from slides and solutions to questions at the completion of each topic.

Representatives
1 male representative and 1 female representative is selected to assist with queries/issues raised by the class.

Quizzes
- Moodle quiz: Scenarios are provided which are required to be completed before attempting the quiz. The quiz which is set up covers content relevant to the topic that is set up on the quiz. Quizzes are made available after the relevant lecture and tutorial.

Self-leadership with your studies
- Students are responsible for their studies.

To ensure a high probability of completing this unit successfully, students need to approach it in a systematic way. At a minimum this should involve:

PRIOR TO WEEKLY SESSION WITH LECTURER
- pre-read prescribed material;
- draw up own summary/mindmap;
- work through seen questions and solutions;

DURING WEEKLY SESSION WITH LECTURER
- attend sessions and participate in discussions with lecturer
- participate in small groups/teams on group assignment;

AFTER WEEKLY SESSION WITH LECTURER
