• Expected Behaviour
• Lectures are between 900 and 1800 you must be
  available during this time to attend as required
• Late arrival by more than 15 minutes can result
  in students being asked to wait until the next
  break before joining the class to ensure other
  students are not interrupted
• Mobile phones must be switched off/set to silent
  during lectures or if you have a personal
  emergency left on vibrate
• Be alert and attentive during lectures do not
  get distracted with other activities
• Do not bring food or hot drinks into lectures
  water is allowed
• Group work This is a useful tool and teaches
  transferable skills - Ensure you participate
  fully - Failure to do so can lead to a student
  being excluded from the group mark and being
  awarded a mark of zero
• Study materials available on Moodle are only a
  guide they do not remove the need to attend
  lectures

  course and ensure you have downloaded any study
  materials you need.
