Subject Delivery Class/tutorial times and location If you are enrolled in an internal offering of this subject, your class times can be found at Timetable @ (http://timetable.csu.edu.au). If you are enrolled in the online offering of the subject, thisCSU timetable will not apply. Find out how to use Timetable @ CSU via the Student Portal Class (http://student.csu.edu.au/study/study-essentials/timetable) page.Timetable Learning, teaching and support strategies All of your subject materials are available on the Interact site under the Topics link in the left hand side menu. I suggest that for each topic you read the learning objectives carefully, read the overview, have a quick skim of the text and then watch the interactive tutorial. Once you have got a feel for what the topic is about try and make a good set of notes under each of the topic review questions in that topic. These questions have been designed to give you focus in the topic, so it really helps to prepare a useful set of answers to them. In this subject there are also lots of opportunities for you to engage with me, with your peers and with the subject. I will be holding 12 face to face classes where we can discuss content issues and assessment items. As part of your assessment in this subject, you are required to work alone for all the assessment items. It is helpful to have a small task to complete early in the session, so that you have a focus in the subject from the very first day, and so I have set a small assessment item in week 3, as part of your assessment. If you don’t complete the assessment, I may contact you by phone or email to have a chat about study and if there are any issues that I can help with. The study guide and/or subject materials for this subject have been written specifically to guide you through the sections (and questions) of the prescribed textbook relevant to each topic. You should check the Interact Site at least weekly for postings, announcements, lecture information http://timetable.csu.edu.au http://timetable.csu.edu.au http://student.csu.edu.au/study/study-essentials/timetable http://student.csu.edu.au/study/study-essentials/timetable Charles Sturt University Subject Outline ITC516 201760 SM I-31 May 2017-Version 1 Page of 5 17 and other resources that will assist your studies or additional information and resources vital to your success in the subject.
