Will I be required to prepare any reading in advance of the classes?
From time to time, a lecturer may assign pre-class reading. Where this arises, it is essential that these readings are reviewed in-depth by you and your classmates in advance of the classes. A lecturer may also set a pre-course assignment. Full details of this will be provided in your study guide or will be communicated to you, via email, in advance.
Am I permitted to audio or video record my classes?
Video recording of classes is not permitted. However, if you wish to audio record your classes, you must seek the permission of the module co-ordinator in advance. Audio recording of classes without advance permission is not allowed.
