June/July long contact session

The purpose of the four-and-a-half day session is multi-dimensional. It will briefly outline the structure of the modules and their context in the programme; assist students to achieve the outcomes of the modules offered; provide guidelines regarding formative and summative assessments, the completion of assignments and preparation for examinations; and explain the important and possibly problematic aspects of each module.

The session will take place from 26 June to 6 July 2012 (a double session organised to accommodate all students) at 16 venues. About 8 200 students are expected to be in attendance.
