After most lectures, there will be suggested reading assignments from the text book, or other references. The tutorial sessions will illustrate the practical application of the materials covered in the lectures and should thus help students tackle assignments. Each week, there will be assignments that test the students understanding of the material covered thus far. Students will be expected to apply this understanding along with their knowledge of the subject prerequisites to complete the assignment. The tutorial work will relate to the material covered in the previous week, so students will have time to study the material.
All work is to be performed individually by students.
While a minimum attendance standard is not compulsory, non-attendance may seriously jeopardize the chances of success in this subject. Clearly, non-attendance at an assessment will result in failure of that assessment. Where visa conditions apply, attendance is compulsory. Due dates for assignments will be notified the day they are given out. Each component should therefore be viewed as a hurdle.
