MODES OF STUDY AND ASSESSMENT METHODS
UNE courses at TOP incorporate a number of different teaching and learning approaches with students depending on the nature of their program.
Lectures
Lectures are the traditional method of university teaching and are used to give information to a large number of students. Lectures are held in lecture theatre. The majority of lecture theatres are equipped with modern teaching facilities including video and data projection equipment, microphone and overhead projects and viewing screens.
Tutorial and Seminars
These are small groups that allow students to discuss work in more depth, led by a tutor. Tutorial groups are held once a week, generally for one hour. Seminars also generally occur once a week, but can be of longer duration. These sessions are designed to give students the opportunity to ask questions and develop ideas and students are expected to actively participate in the discussions.
Assessment Methods
Methods of assessment vary for each unit but they can include written assessments and essays, presentations, group work, practical work and examinations. These methods are outlined in the Unit Guide for each unit issued to students when they enroll.
