General policies

Attendance at lectures, tutorials etc

Whilst students are generally expected to manage their own affairs in relation to study, regular attendance at lectures, tutorials and/or laboratory classes is a requirement for all units, since it is here that students have the opportunity to put theory into practice.

Students should attend as:

• Additional explanations and supplementary material presented at lectures is often not available from other sources. It may be the result of current research. If the student misses out on this then they have missed an important part of the course.
• Finding and studying material by the student themselves is a much more time consuming process than attending a lecture.

A record is kept of attendance at lectures, tutorials and laboratory classes.
