On-campus students are expected to participate actively in weekly lecture and tutorial sessions. Lectures are designed to provide an overview of accounting topics and highlight the application of key concepts. Tutorial sessions enhance students' understanding of accounting knowledge through in-class discussions on practical problems. These discussions engage students in team working, task collaboration and provide students with opportunities to work and communicate effectively with people from diverse cultures. Students studying the unit on an online mode work through a study program with resources available via Blackboard. Regular online access is required. Students are expected to review the weekly unit materials and attempt assigned questions from each topic. Active participation through Blackboard discussions enhances collaborative learning among peers.
