The subject is taught through a lecture-tutorial mode and introduces students to a considerable amount of accounting information of a detailed character. This understanding can only be achieved if a self-learning attitude is adopted.
Students are responsible for their own learning.
Lectures introduce the topics and students have one week to gain understanding of the subject matter before the tutorial where problems can be discussed and clarified. Tutorial problems for each week are relevant to the previous week's lecture. It is expected that tutorial problems will be attempted before the tutorial is undertaken. To succeed students have to keep up and ask for assistance before falling behind. Additional reading is encouraged for a thorough appreciation of the topics.
