The Online version of this unit is designed to allow students to successfully complete Introduction to Screen Studies while enjoying the flexibility to participate in tutorial discussion and contact their tutors and fellow students, electronically. This ensures that Online students receive the same opportunities for discussion and guidance as those enrolled in the Internal version of the unit. The difference is that Online students are not subject to the timetabling and practical restrictions of attending internal tutorials, and seeking scheduled appointments with their tutors. Essays can also be submitted electronically if that is your preference. Online students are able to communicate with each other, exchange ideas, and chat informally by way of the web.
Online students fall into two main groups.
This differentiation is important because it affects your assessment structure, and you should take note of it before continuing. If you are enrolled as an internal student at Murdoch University, but have chosen to complete Introduction to Screen Studies Online, you will follow the assessment procedures and submission dates designated as Internal Online . You will be expected to attend the unit lectures and screenings along with Internal students. As specified in the Assessment page of this site, you will sit the Concepts Test alongside internal students, in the lecture theatre, at the usual lecture time, on the Friday of Week 6.
