Learning, teaching and support strategies How you are expected to engage with the subject

There will be three (3) hour weekly face to face lecture/tutorial conducted throughout the session.

All of your subject materials are available on the Interact site under the Topics link in the left hand side menu. I suggest that for each topic you read the learning objectives carefully, read the overview, quickly skim the text to get an idea of the topic. Once you have an idea of the topic's content, try and make a good set of notes under each of the headings in the topic. This will start to give you a good understanding of the topic and will assist you remember everything in the assignments.

In this subject. there will be 12 face to face classes in total each having a duration of three hour. Before you come to the online session, you need to have looked at the topic in the Interact site and read the text so that you can contribute to the class and derive more meaning from the activities that we will do online.

It is helpful to have a small task to complete early in the session so that you have a focus in the subject from the very first day, and so I have set a small task (selecting a topic and setting up the project interact site) in week 2 as part of your assessment item 1. If you don’t attempt this task, I may contact you by phone or email to have a chat about study and if there are any issue that I can help with. You can also contact an adviser through Student Central on the following number: 1800 275 278 (or +61 2 6933 7507 from outside Australia).
