Flipped classroom strategy
Many traditional lectures are now online resources
Can access when and where you wish, as many times as you like
You need to do your “homework” before you come to class
Maximise what you get out of your face-to-face classes
Up to you to organise your follow-up study
Work in a team in and out of class
Full-time study is a full-time job
Curtin University is a trademark of Curtin University of TechnologyCRICOS Provider Code 00301J
Entry to your course does not guarantee graduation nor employment
This opportunity is yours to set yourself up for a rewarding and satisfying career
Don’t waste your time or your money
