Monash University Business & Economics handbook 1995

Tutorials

At the beginning of the semester, on-campus students are enrolled in tutorial groups for most of their subjects. Tutorial groups are composed of up to twenty students from the lecture group who normally meet for one to two hours per week, to discuss issues which arise from the lectures. Students are expected to take part in these discussions and to submit written work as required which will normally be marked by the subject assistant lecturer. Attendance at tutorials and performance in written work are regarded as important and in some subjects may be taken into account in assessing the student's performance for the year.

Distance education students

Classes are organised at four weekend schools each semester to supplement and enrich the coursework that is provided off-campus. Distance education students are encouraged to make as much use of these schools as their circumstances allow. On-campus accommodation available to distance education students during the weekend schools and cafeteria as well as child care services are provided by the Student Union. Classes generally cover one quarter of the study program to supplement student learning.
