Tutorials are one hour in length and are conducted weekly. Distance Education students are not required to attend but may attend if they desire. Students are not to attend other tutorial groups unless there is an appropriate reason and permission has first been sought, either by the tutor or the lecturer. Tutorial questions for each Module are available in advance and it is the responsibility of the student to ensure that they have a copy thereof in sufficient time to prepare for class. Tutorials are designed for active participation of students in the practical solution of factual problems.
Lectures are the point of imparting information and concepts.
Whilst tutors are available to discuss particular conceptual problems, the tutorial time is to be directed towards the answering of the set questions. Valuable time cannot be taken explaining matters to compensate for students' lack of reading and preparation. The tutorial program is very important for your final exam preparation. It enables students to practise their exam technique. Students are encouraged to make use of consultative provisions.
