TEACHING AND LEARNING STRATEGY
From Year 2020, the unit is delivered in a combination of weekly seminars/lectures (1 1/2 hour) and workshops (1 1/2 hours).

The seminar/lecture notes will be posted on iLearn at https://ilearn.mq.edu.au.
The recording (video or audio) of lectures/seminars is not permitted.
