Students will engage with weekly pre-recorded lectures available on iLearn and attend interactive tutorials/workshops where they will discuss and apply theoretical concepts to their interpreting practice. The unit combines preparatory video lectures, face-to-face workshops, and language-specific tutorials—full details are available on the iLearn site.

Active participation in all learning activities is expected and essential for developing interpreting competencies. Students will need access to a tablet, laptop, or similar device for workshop activities. Those without their own device may borrow a laptop from the university library.

Social inclusion at Macquarie University is about giving everyone who has the potential to benefit from higher education the opportunity to study at university, participate in campus life and flourish in their chosen field. The University has made significant moves to promote an equitable, diverse and exciting campus community for the benefit of staff and students. It is your responsibility to contribute towards the development of an inclusive culture and practice in the areas of learning and teaching, research, and service orientation and delivery. As a member of the Macquarie University community, you must not discriminate against or harass others based on their sex, gender, race, marital status, carers' responsibilities, disability, sexual orientation, age, political conviction or religious belief. All staff and students are expected to display appropriate behaviour that is conducive to a healthy learning environment for everyone.

In the Faculty of Medicine, Health and Human Sciences, and in the Department of Linguistics, professionalism is a key capability embedded in all our courses.

As part of developing professionalism, students enrolled in the Translation and Interpreting program are expected to attend all small group interactive sessions, including tutorials, workshops, practical and team-based learning activities.

Another dimension of professionalism is having respect for your peers. It is the right of every student to learn in an environment that is free of disruption and distraction. Please arrive to all learning activities on time, and if you are unavoidably detained, please join activity as quietly as possible to minimise disruption. Phones and other electronic devices that produce noise and other distractions must be turned off prior to entering class. Where your own device (e.g., laptop) is being used for class-related activities, you are asked to close down all other applications to avoid distraction to you and others. Please treat your fellow students with the utmost respect. If you are uncomfortable participating in any specific activity, please let the relevant academic know.
