It is the responsibility of students to view their marks for each within session assessment on iLearn within 20 working days of posting. If there are any discrepancies, students must contact the unit convenor immediately. Failure to do so will mean that queries received after the release of final results regarding assessment tasks (not including the final exam mark) will not be addressed.

Assessment criteria for all assessment tasks will be provided on the unit iLearn site.

Classes

• Students should each week attend their allocated lecture of up to two hours duration, and their allocated 55 minute tutorial.
• Tutorials begin in Week 2 and cover material based on the preceding week's lecture topic.
• Students should attend PAL Sessions where necessary to improve their understanding of the material covered.
• Attendance at tutorials is very important for successful completion of assessment tasks in this unit. Tutors keep weekly attendance records. These may be taken into consideration in determining the overall unit result. The tutorial attendance record may also be taken into account in considering applications for supplementary end-of-semester final examinations.
• The timetable for classes can be found on the University web site at:http://www.timetables.mq.edu.au/

• Students should have access to the internet.

Unit Web Page

• Course material and announcements are available on the learning management system (iLearn).

Learning and Teaching Activities

The unit is delivered through weekly lectures and tutorial classes. Tutorial questions will mostly be sourced from the required textbook. The question numbers that will be discussed in tutorials will be posted to iLearn each week. Students should attempt these questions before tutorials. Brief answers to the tutorial questions will be posted on iLearn after each week.

To achieve the best possible results students should:

1) Attend all lectures and tutorial classes, though attendance is not compulsory;

2) As it is unlikely that tutors will be able to cover all questions and problems in each tutorial class, students should attempt and complete all assigned questions and problems before attending tutorial classes;

3) Tutorial questions and problems are assigned from the required text book;

4) Read the assigned chapters of the required text book before attending lectures;

5) Download lecture notes from iLearn, which are available weekly before lectures. Ensure these notes are brought to lectures.

6) Attend PAL sessions where difficulties are experienced.

This unit uses research from external sources including journal articles and other text books which will be made available on iLearn.
