Do Truong Thanh asked: For on-campus students are we staying online or studying in the class?

How has the assessment structure changed?

@Do Truong Thanh: we are back on campus on 7 March, As an on-campus students you will have 2h face-to-face tutorials and 1-hour online workshops. The face-to-face sessions may be subject to COVID restriction.

can you sit in on campus for the workshops?

yes Liam

Craig do you want to ask questions?

how does it work for on-line student? do I carry out the tutorial, workshop online?

Mic not working

Is there more flexibility now with census dates and what not? Say I get covid mid-semester and am out of action for 2 weeks my semester is pretty well a write off. Is there any recourse to drop out or to bad so sad, do it again next semester and pay again?

Census Date is the Monday of week 3

Term 1 Census date is 24th January

Carolyn that must be Summer Term

my apologies - it is 21st March

One other question, what's the difference between what we've had as a 'lecture' vs a 'workshop'?

Arlo -Withdrawal without fail can now be applied for in the refunds and Remissions eform - More info if required : https://www.scu.edu.au/current-students/student-administration/fees-and-charges/refunds-and-remissions/

Thanks Kayla!

or Vinh

You normally have lectures before studying the supplied materials and workshops AFTER studying the materials.

I presume Blackboard is still the method of interaction or are there additional tools we will require?

yes via Blackboard (it looks different though!), and if you need additional tools for a particular unit it will tell you about them in Module 0 (the introduction to the unit)

Does the dependency on prescribed text books change with the new model?

The content is on BB but the online sessions will be delivered either through BB Collaborate or Zoom or other online platforms.

As at today, my BB looks the same for me as it was last year. Is there a new URL or will I see the new look from next week?

May be we can show an example module to the students?

is it possible to share screen to show the new look of BB?

sorry I was late but has the plan for the equity and inclusion program been finalised? I asked in the past 2 forums but it hadn't been finalised

That's a lot of tabs Vin!

Looks more organized

Student Equity & Inclusionhttps://www.scu.edu.au/current-students/services-and-support/student-equity--inclusion/

my concerns were to do with health problems where I would be unable 2 study for 2 weeks for instance last semester I was unable to study for that time period but I was able to catch up because of the 12 week layout but now 2 weeks is 1/3rd of the unit

ahh ok I was worried about the fees still being charged

Unfortunately I have another commitment - thanks everyone for coming :)

This new layout/structure looks great so far 👌

A side question for someene - who can I call , to understand difference in the majors that have occurred over the last 2 years, as they have changed since I enrolled.

Okay thank you.

Thanks everyone, great session and insights.
