All academic staff are supervisors and have ‘Office hour & feedback sessions’ each week, displayed on their door and personal webpage.
Lectures, tutorials etc
• You should attend lectures
• Unless specified otherwise, attendance is compulsory at all seminars, tutorials and practicals which form part of the modules you are studying. In most cases there will also be specified requirements for submitted coursework.
• If you are unable to attend your usual session or submit required non-assessed coursework, you must:
inform your seminar tutor as soon as possible explaining the reasons and arrange to attend an alternative seminar session
