Tutorials and workshops
5
These are meetings between smaller groups of students and a member
of staff. They may be used for discussions based on problem-solving
questions. You may be asked to prepare a paper to read aloud at a tutorial
or you may be asked to make a presentation, either individually or as part
of a group. In order for you to fully benefit or engage in these activities, you
will normally need to prepare work prior to a tutorial.
Specialist space and laboratories
In some subjects you will carry out experimental procedures, rehearsals,
use specialist information technology etc. For these classes specialist space
is provided. You will normally be expected to work at your own pace and a
subject tutor will normally be available to assist with individual problems.
Independent and directed study
It is important to remember that the timetabled class hours are only a part
of the hours which you will need to spend on developing subject specific
skills.
When you are not attending classes your time can be spent on individual
study i.e. researching, reading, preparing material for tutorials, referring
to texts and articles, preparing coursework assignments, revising for
examinations etc.
