Tutorials offer smaller more individual tuition focused on the topic that is covered in the weekly lecture. All lecture and tutorial material is posted on the Blackboard. Students are expected to attend all lectures and prepare for tutorials. Learning is enhanced through audio visual aids and class discussion where emphasis is placed on teamwork, idea sharing, communicating effectively and problem solving. Off-campus: Students are expected to self-study the modules posted on the ECU Blackboard website. Students are required to participate on the Discussion Board which provides a forum for each week topic and interaction among students. Students are encouraged to work as a virtual team for one of their assessments. Regular online access is required.
