Behaviour and Design of Structures 1

Announcements about the course content and organisation may be made in class, in tutorials, via EMAIL, or on LEARN. Students can contact the course coordinator via email with general queries. If there are specific questions related to the course material or homework assignments, students should bring these to the office hours. In unusual circumstances, they can also contact the teaching assistants directly via email.

Teaching is based on the assumption that all students attend all their classes/tutorials. If, according to university policy/conventions, some courses are recorded and made available to students, this is conducted by the university. In the past there have been issues with the availability, and the quality of, recordings. Any issues regarding these should be addressed directly to the university. Also, if for some special reason students are unable to attend a particular class/tutorial and good recordings are not available, students should have alternative arrangements for obtaining the information presented.

Repeating students may apply to the lecturer in change of the appropriate steel or concrete part of the course to not retake the related laboratory components. The request should come by email and be copied to the course coordinator, no later than the second Monday of the respective Term (i.e., T3 for steel ad T4 for concrete). Acceptance/rejection of the application is at the discretion of the appropriate lecturer.

In the case of an emergency that affects the entire course, the Course Coordinator may change the nature, weighting, and timing of assessments in consultation with the Dean. For example, the test may be cancelled with a corresponding increase in weighting for the exam, or the date/nature of the test may need to change. Under certain circumstances, assessments may need to be held outside the prescribed course dates.
