A: TUTORIAL SESSION GUIDE

a. Tutorials are typically small discussion groups which meet to discuss matters arising from lectures, work not covered in lectures, essays or other tasks that have
been set or some aspect of the readings while
b. Practicals differ according to faculty, but in general, a practical is an opportunity for students to test and apply their understanding of the concepts and ideas
introduced in lectures. "Practicals" are called this because they are the place where the "theoretical" knowledge gained in lectures and readings is put into
practice. In the Science Faculty, practicals would take place in a laboratory, and students might work in pairs. In the Social Sciences and Humanities, students
attending practicals would do individual work in the presence of tutors, who would help and supervise the exercises. Practicals are usually much longer than
the normal lecture or tutorial period, often about 3 hours long.
c. Attendance is usually compulsory at these small group meetings, and the tutor or supervisor will take the register. If you do not attend the required number of
tutorials, you may be refused a "dp", the "duly performed" certificate that allows you to write your final examinations. Students must sign the attendance sheet.
