Delivery Format and Other Details:

Classes

Classes in ACCG2024 are composed of lectures and tutorials. The structure of the unit is a weekly 1.5 hour lecture and a weekly 1.5 hour small group tutorial. The unit's learning outcomes can only be achieved through self-study and independent learning supported by attending lectures and tutorials. The lectures provide a general overview of the topics highlighting a number of concepts and techniques. The tutorials complement lectures by providing opportunities to further explore all relevant concepts and techniques. Both lectures and tutorials will only support your learning if you prepare them thoroughly by doing the recommended readings and the pre-set tutorial questions as outlined in the Unit Schedule (available on the ACCG2024 iLearn webpage) beforehand. You are expected to attend the 1.5 hour lecture every week. Lecture slides will be available prior to the lectures on the ACCG2024 iLearn webpage. You must register for a tutorial. There will be a 1.5 hour tutorial each week from weeks 2 to 13. You must finalise your tutorial enrolment by end of week 2 after which changes are no longer possible.
