Tutorials are held weekly, commencing in Week 2. You must attend the tutorial in which you are enrolled, so that you can pair up with another student with whom you will do your presentation later in the semester.  The tutors will also discuss the expectations and explain how the tutorials will be run during Week 2’s tutorials.
