The University’s Academic Standards Code of Practice specifies that a 20 credit course is
expected to require about 200 hours work by students. For this course, you are
recommended to break this down roughly as follows:
Lectures
Tutorials
Tutorial preparation
Exam preparation
TOTAL:
10 x 2 = 20 hours
10 hours
10 x 5 hours = 50 hours
120 hours
200 hours
Prompt arrival at classes
Students should note that all lectures and tutorials start on the hour and should end at 50
minutes past the hour. Late arrival for tutorials may result in your being marked absent; if
you arrive late it is your responsibility to ensure that your tutor has marked you as present.
