Tutorials are an important part of the teaching programme of the School. These guidelines are intended to ensure equivalent treatment of students and also to allow tutors enough scope to deal flexibly with the specific problems raised by individual tutorial groups. Written work collected by the tutor should be marked within a week of handing in. Generally assignments should be graded, either by the tutor or by the tutorial group as appropriate. Samples of marked work will be copied and used for teaching-quality review purposes.
Attendance is compulsory.
Producing summary tutorial reports close to the end of each term. These should be discussed with students. Ensuring that all tutees understand the normal academic conventions for working with, and citing the work of, others. Specifically, students should be made aware of the University code of practice on plagiarism and how it will apply to the work expected of them during the year. Clearly in many cases referral to the professional advice services will be most appropriate.
