Workload

Edit Workload Content

This is a 15 point paper and it is expected that students undertake 150 hours of study overall, including lecture time.

The paper has a lot of small pieces of assessment. The 150 hours that is anticipated by students to be invested over the trimester will be needed. Contact hours are four hours per week - so there remains significant time each week to be fully prepared for those contact hours through reading the cases in advance, reading the text and preparing assessments.
