Organisational remarks and main changes to the course

Class activities may depend on the total number of students enrolled for LANG9021.

Classwork accounts for 20% of the final grade. Classwork results will be taken into account for the first AND second session.

Participating in the course and attending classes with a hard copy of the syllabus are vital to the learning process.
