Learning and Teaching Activities:
The content for each week will comprise of a lecture recording and a set of tutorial questions (Problem Sets).
Lectures
A lecture recording will be uploaded each week. Lecture notes will be available on iLearn.
Tutorials
Students will need to register to either an on-campus tutorial or an online (Zoom) tutorial. Tutorials are considered compulsory but no marks are allocated. Tutorials will be available for most, but not all weeks of the semester. In weeks where there aren't any live (on-campus or online) tutorials, a recording will be provided to cover the relevant material.
The tutorial schedule will be made available on iLearn.
Tutorial enrolment or change of tutorial can be made through eStudent in the first two weeks of the semester. No tutorial changes are allowed after Week 2. Students should attend their allocated tutorial, but exceptions may occur on a one-off basis. That is, where circumstances prevent you from attending your own tutorial in a given week, you may attend an alternative tutorial if room available.
Students are expected to complete the ‘Tutorial Questions’ as a self-directed study activity before attending a tutorial. Additional learning support will be available in tutor consultation times.
The timetables for classes can be found on the University website at: https://timetables.mq.edu.au/2020/ (Excel workshops) will commence in Week 1.
