This course, given in distance learning delivery mode, includes live synchronous classes according to a predetermined schedule. Attendance at the synchronous classes is strongly recommended. Class recordings are usually made available for replay. Details of the recordings per class are indicated in the course outline. If proctored exams are planned for this course, they require physical presence on campus or at one of the off-campus exam centres. They are held evenings and weekends and, where applicable, may therefore be held at times other than the scheduled synchronous class times.
