So how do tutorials work? (1 Viewer)

[pillow12345]

Are tutorials before lectures? For example my ACCG100 tute is before my lectures, on wednesday I have the tute and the lectures are on friday so just wondering.

Thanks

in accg100 tutes you will be assigned homework questions that relate to the prior weeks lecture. (it does not matter if your tute is before your lecture)

In the tutorial the tutor will check to see if you have attempted the homework - assign you a mark, and then will go through the questions with the class.

Plus, Lectures start one week before your tutes. So it doesn't matter when your tutes and lectures are scheduled.

Ur tutor is sort of like a small class, where the tutor checks over your stuff, answer questions and revises stuff that was taught in lectures (sometimes).

Also, most exams are held during tute times, so hopefully you don't have anything just before them, b/c that's crucial revision time.

Really wish I would have known that before making my timetable lol.

Maybe its different for UNSW?

Although I can't generalise....This is info from UNSW forum threads.

Depends on the subject. Your unit outline should state when the exam is being held.

When an exam is held is generally dependent on the scale of the exam itself.

If it is a quiz which doesn't take up a high percentage of the unit's mark allocation, it will probably be held during a tutorial.

Your mid-semester exam will often be either held during a lecture or at a different scheduled time when a lecture theatre is free. Generally this is to ensure the integrity of exams by preventing students spreading information about the finer details of an exam's content.

The end-of-semester exams (if applicable) are held during an examination period set by the university. I don't know the intricacies of how Macquarie University operate their exam weeks but to my knowledge, it seems to be the general consensus between universities.

Are tutorials useful? like do you do questions from the textbook and stuff.. or just discussion?
They have rollcall in tutorials, right?

It depends on the subject and the tutor. Some tutors don't give a fuck and let you do whatever you want, some do lecture summaries and the homework questions.

Are tutorials useful?

Some are, some aren't... depends on your tutor, subject, and what they actually do in there.

like do you do questions from the textbook and stuff.. or just discussion?

Yes, you do both, and sometimes just hear the tutor ramble on about stuff, maybe demonstrate stuff if it's practical, or explain stuff simple on the board/computer-projector, etc...

They have rollcall in tutorials, right?

Some do, some dont, the ones that do are usually compulsory, while the others aren't really.

Depends, can be either, or a totally different time if it's a mid-sem, final, etc..., while smaller class exams will usually be in tutorials.. totally depends.

Are you a student? You can usually find out whether the tutorial is "useful" to you after attending one or two tutorials? If your question is directed at accounting units, then it depends on the tutor and the unit, but they are usually quite useful for explaining how to answer the questions and to clarify anything that the lecture didn't quite go over.

Roll call... once again, most units have an attendance requirement, so yes.
