Times and location for campus Lectures and Tutorials: for current updates, lecture times and classrooms please consult the MQ Timetables website: www.timetables.mq.edu.au

There are twelve 2-hour Lectures  (Weeks 1-12) that introduce students to the themes of ancient Egyptian Religion. These lectures are recorded and made available through Echo360. The material covered in lectures and the accompanying readings from the textbooks are the basis for the final exam in Week 13.

For the 9 Tutorials students read, analyse and discuss primary texts.

For each tutorial students will be required to do an on-line quiz which will be due the day before the tutorial is held.
