Weekly Study Plan

Suggested weekly schedule

To summarise, in week n you should:

  • on Monday:
    • [lec] have a first read of the lecture readings for the week (website)
    • [tut] review the solutions of the Tutorials questions of week n1, and seek help if needed*
  • on Tuesday:
    • [lec] attend the lecture in person or online (as appropriate)
    • [lec] review the lecture notes, and seek help if needed*
    • [tut] perform the pre-tutorial work and review solutions (before yourThursday tutorial)
    • [tut] have a first look at the Tutorials questions for week n and see whether you can attempt some of them already (before your Thursday tutorial)
  • on Wednesday
  • on Thursday
    • [tut] attend tutorials in person
    • [lec] finish your review of lecture notes, and seek help if needed*
    • [tut] continue your attempts of the Tutorials questions for week n
    • [amt] consider the Additional questions if you need more practice on week n1
  • on Friday <- wrapping the week up!
    • [amt] create draft 1 of your own summary of week n, and seek help if some areas are unclear*
    • [amt] upgrade your summary of week n1 into a “cheat sheet” for the Mid-semester exam and the final exam.
    • [lec] have a first read of the lecture readings for the next week (website)

Note [lec] refers to lecture activities (learning the theory), [tut] to tutorials (applying the theory), and [amt] to assessment preparation (prepare for exams).

* To seek help:

  • ask your question in Ed, or
  • ask your tutor at your next tutorial, or
  • ask the course Professor at the next consultation hours, or
  • ask your friends in the course (on Ed or elsewhere!),

BUT do not e-mail tutors or the course Professor, unless your query is truly personal in nature, or has absolutely no chance of being of any relevance to any other student. Chances are other students have the same question, and so having the question being asked and answered publicly helps everyone.
