The Faculty hosted three lunch hour discussions of which tutors had to attend one. These sessions formed part of the Faculty’s current focus on tutorials. Tutors spoke about their roles in the Faculty’s teaching function, and looked at ways in which they can promote student learning and overcome problems with student apathy and unrealistic expectations. These sessions were attended by between 20 and 50 students.
