Tutorial
a. A tutorial grade consists of 2 parts: [1] Tutorial Attendance (5%) and [2] Tutorial
Participation (10%)
b. Please attend the tutorials according to your own timetable (i.e. the official Student
Registry). Your attendance will not be counted without prior notice if you have attended
“other” tutorials.
Classes will start on time without waiting for any late students. The attendance record
will mark “absent” if you are 5 minutes or more late for the start of any tutorial or before
its official end.
Leave of absence (including sick leave). If you need to be absent from a class/session,
you must obtain approval from your own Department/Programme (not from the tutor or
lecturer of this course). Please refer to the Student Handbook for details and procedures.
Upon approval, you can make catch up the tutorial content attendance by watching the
video recording / online session of the tutorial which is available from the subject
Blackboard (go to “Content”  “Blackboard Collaborate Ultra”).
c. Measurement of tutorial participation. Tutorial participation is defined as proactively

and explicitly giving constructive opinions/comments/feedback and contributing to the
learning of all others. A student doing great in this aspect is one who comes to the
tutorial classes prepared; contributes readily to the class conversation and discussion (but
doesn’t dominate it) and in-class activities for learning of other classmates; makes
thoughtful contributions that advance the conversation; shows interest in and respect for
others’ views; participates actively; overall adds great value to the whole class learning
momentum.
Lecture
a. A lecture grade (10%) is reflected mainly through Lecture Performance (through pre-
lecture, in-lecture and/or post-lecture exercises/activities).

2
b. Measurement of lecture performance. Pre-lecture, in-lecture and/or post-lecture
exercises/activities are used to measure Lecture Performance.
Pre-/in-/post-lecture exercises might be in place and they are administered through

Blackboard for completion with deadlines. All lecture exercises are mark-bearing (unless
specified otherwise). Each corresponding deadline is stated on Blackboard. Students are
expected to check Blackboard proactively and have the work completed within the
timeline specified. The lecturer may not remind in classes.
Contents of the exercises are sourced from the subject textbook, reference/reading
materials, lecture contents, talks, video shown in lectures, etc. You are expected to do
reading prior to classes, come to lessons prepared, give your undivided attention, and
maximise learning.
c. Lecture material is posted on Blackboard in advance to facilitate preparation and note

taking.
