Participation requirements
Regular attendance and participation at the classes is strongly recommended to produce written assignments, and to prepare for the final examination.
Required IT skills
Word-processing; internet searching.
Those students choosing an online workshop will be invited to attend online meetings in real time using the Virtual Room in the UCLearn teaching site. The Virtual Room allows you to communicate in real time with your lecturer and other students. To participate verbally, rather than just typing, you will need a microphone. For best audio quality we recommend a microphone and speaker headset. For more information and to test your computer, go to the Virtual Room in your UCLearn site and 'Join Course Room'. This will trigger a tutorial to help familiarise you with the functionality of the virtual room.
