Learning Activities and Teaching Strategies
The examinable content of the course is defned by the references given in the lecture schedule, the content of lectures, and the content of the tutorial program.
Lectures
The purpose of lectures is to provide a logical structure for the topics that make up the course, to emphasise the important concepts and methods of each topic, and to provide relevant examples to which the concepts and methods are applied. Lecture slides will be made available on the course Moodle site. Lectures will belive-streamed at scheduled lecture times except on the days on which there is an online quiz or a public holiday. For such days the lecture will be pre-recorded and made available via Moodle.
Tutorials
Tutorials are an integral part of the subject. Tutorial problems will build on the material discussed in class with the lecturer. Tutorials provide a vehicle for interaction between students and tutors. Tutorials will be undertaken face-to-face or online by the tutors according to the class schedule. The online tutorials will belive-streamed. Students will be able to attend their online tutorial via a link that will be made available on the course Moodle site. Students are strongly encouraged to prepare well by attempting the homework problems prior to the tutorials and participating in the tutorial discussion.
Out-of-Class Study
While students may have preferred individual learning strategies, most learning will be achieved outside of class time. Lectures can only provide a structure to assist your study, and tutorial time is limited. An “ideal” strategy (on which the provision of the course materials is based) might include:
· Reading of the relevant chapter(s) of the text and any additional readings before the lecture. This will give you a general idea of the topic area.
Attention to recorded lectures. Here the context of the topic in the course and the important elements of the topic are identifed. The relevance of the topic will be explained further in the online discussion of the lecture material.
Attending tutorials, attempting the tutorial questions and participating in tutorial discussions. Participation in the consultation sessions. These provide an opportunity to interact with the
lecturer and other students and to ask questions about the course material.
