New study patterns

• Lectures and tutorials take up part of the day. You must plan your own long and short term timetables.
• For every one-hour lecture or tutorial about two hours of private study will be necessary.
• Assignments tend to be long and not frequent. They are usually set many weeks ahead.
• Wide reading is essential. You may be given a reading list, but you should read other sources as well.
• Lecture groups may be large. It is up to you to approach your lecturer or tutor if you are having difficulties.
• You will have to identify and make notes on the main points in lectures and texts.
• You must acknowledge all your sources. To avoid plagiarism, you will need to learn referencing skills.
• You are expected to develop independent thinking by:
  • memorising information,
  • asking questions,
  • examining evidence, and
  • thinking critically.
