Tutorials. You may book tutorials via our Student Services Team. You are expected to prepare materials and questions for the tutorial, which will only cover the topics within your enrolled subjects. If you book and do not attend your scheduled tutorial, we reserve the right to suspend you from booking future tutorial sessions.
Tutorials. You acknowledge and agree that:
Tutorials. If you miss a class you must notify a Centre Manager or Student Services Representative. The Talent 100 Staff Member will provide you with notes and homework for the class you have missed/will miss.
Tutorials. During the semester, a tutorial is organised between student and teacher. Tutorials have an academic focus, and the aim is to clarify the student’s goals, expectations, efforts and progression of the course. This is a conversation where teacher and student jointly facilitate further learning. Students must be prepared for the tutorial meeting and have formulated an opinion of their own academic strengths and weaknesses.
Tutorials. 12 1) A course may be offered on a tutorial basis if either: (a) an on-campus course did not have 13 sufficient registration and the department wants it to run, and/or (b) one or more students 14 require the course for graduation. Under these circumstances, the department may ask the 15 Vice President for Academic Affairs for permission to offer the course on a tutorial basis, 16 and tutorials will be offered only if authorized by the Vice President for Academic Affairs.
17 2) If the request to offer a course as a tutorial is granted, the course shall meet on a regular 18 basis and a statement by the faculty member of how and when the tutorial was conducted 19 must be submitted in writing at the close of the course for department records and for 20 attachment to the request for payment for the tutorial.
21 3) If a course would normally be run as a tutorial but the instructor wishes to have the course 22 counted as part of his or her base load, this option may be employed provided that the 23 instructor receives a reduced ELH rate. The numbers of ELH generated by teaching different 24 sizes of tutorials are shown in the chart below. This option requires the agreement of the 25 faculty member, the department Chair, and the appropriate xxxx, as well as the permission 26 of the Vice President for Academic Affairs. 1 ELH 2 ELH 3 ELH 4 ELH 5 ELH 6 ELH 7 ELH 8 ELH 1 0.17 0.33 0.50 0.67 0.83 1.00 1.17 1.33 2 0.33 0.67 1.00 1.33 1.67 2.00 2.33 2.67 3 0.47 0.93 1.40 1.87 2.33 2.80 3.27 3.73 4 0.60 1.20 1.80 2.40 3.00 3.60 4.20 4.80 5 0.73 1.47 2.20 2.93 3.67 4.40 5.13 5.87 6 0.87 1.73 2.60 3.47 4.33 5.20 6.07 6.93 7 or more 1.00 2.00 3.00 4.00 5.00 6.00 7.00 8.00
27 4) Full-time faculty members teaching tutorials which are not counted towards their base load, 28 and all adjunct faculty members teaching tutorials, shall receive compensation of one-half of 1 the tuition paid by the first student and one-fourth of the tuition paid by each additional 2 student on an overload basis, but not more than the regular overload or adjunct salary rate.
Tutorials. 8.1. Courses with very low enrollments (1–7 students for an undergraduate course, 1–3 students for a graduate course) may be offered on a tutorial basis. The decision to offer a course on a tutorial basis requires consultation by the Chair with the faculty member assigned to teach the course and approval by the Xxxx.
8.2. Credit units for a tutorial equal two-thirds of the CUs normally assigned to the course.
8.3. A faculty member will be assigned no more than one tutorial per semester. Additional assigned courses with tutorial enrollments will be assigned full CU allotments as described in Guideline 3.
Tutorials. You may book and attend tutorials via my- xxxxxx.xxx.xx. You are expected to prepare materials and questions for the tutorial, which will only cover the topics within your enrolled subjects. If you book and do not attend your scheduled tutorial, we reserve the right to suspend you from booking future tutorial sessions. Tutorials bookings are capped at 10 per term (Years 7-11) and 4 per term (Year 12).
Tutorials. Graduate Assistants and Teaching Assistants who are assigned to tutorial sessions are normally paid with respect to the number of tutorial contact hours (or equivalent) they work per week. Each contact hour has a value of 32.5 hours (130/4=32.5) for a 13-week term, except in the case of a single one hour tutorial, for which an assistant will be for 35 hours. Each contact hour may include: the tutorial sessions, marking of essays (eg. 20 essays @ 30 minutes per essay); assistance with final exam marking (eg. 20 exams @ 15 minutes per exam); and meeting with the Supervising instructor. Pursuant to this model, if a Graduate Assistant or Teaching Assistant is assigned to and works:
(i) one (1) one-hour tutorial, the Assistant shall be paid for 35 hours;
(ii) two (2) one-hour tutorials, the Assistant shall be paid for 65 hours; and
(iii) three (3) one-hour tutorials, the Assistant shall be paid for 97.5 hours; and
(iv) four (4) one-hour tutorials, the Assistant shall be paid for 130 hours.
Tutorials. The student shall have permission for time off for all indispensable times of tutorials. Presentation of academic projects. The student shall have permission for time off for all indispensable periods relating to the presentation of academic projects. Representation and participation in the governing bodies and for the representation of the University. The student shall have permission for time off for all indispensable times relating to the sessions that are held and to participate in any corresponding elections. Medical visits. The student shall have permission for time off for all indispensable medical appointments. Other purposes jointly approved by the collaborating institution and the UAB. The student must inform the collaborating institution with sufficient warning of any absences that can be foreseen, and must present the corresponding justifications. The periods of practicum that have not been carried out because of such permissions may give rise to an extension of the end date of the internship period equivalent to the working period missed through permission, provided that this extension is communicated before the end of the period initially agreed with the UAB.
Tutorials. The key question here is “What role does the TA play in this course?” Course Instructors decide the course goals/objectives and, as part of that decision, decide the role they wish you to play in the course. Use your course instructor as a mentor and the course outline as your guide in how you conduct yourself as a TA. Are tutorials to be used only to discuss the readings and/or are you supposed to be summarizing lecture material? You will also need to know how to handle questions that ‘cross over’ into the course Instructor’s responsibilities. For example, when marking papers or examinations, ask for guiding principles if using a marking scheme i.e. can you give higher grades to those who draw in material from news media or demonstrate creative insight or must you stick only to pre-conceived definitions and guidelines? You also need to discuss whether you should prioritize certain readings or attempt to generally cover all the materials around a common theme. Are you able to give them short exercises or examples of your own creation to help clarify material or do you need to ‘stick to’ a specific format? In other words, how much autonomy do you have over the tutorial, topics of discussion or the material you provide?
