As some students have made enquiries about the workload of this new course, I write to further let you know that students will be able to complete this course after online viewing of less than 10 hours’ video clips plus other optional supplementary video clips and reading materials according to their own schedule. The open book assessment will be in the form of multiple-choice questions of not more than 1 hour, with repeated attempts allowed. Upon successful completion of the course, a “pass” will be recorded in your transcript. There is no scheduled teaching sessions. You can flexibly plan for the completion of this course throughout the entire period of your study.
For the past couple of years, we’ve asked teachers to upload lecture recordings to HKU Moodle. In S1 our policy will change. Teachers may still upload lectures to Moodle, especially during the add/drop period when many students like to audit courses online. However, this will no longer be required (unless a Faculty decides to retain the policy). To keep everything simple, ITS is creating a ‘hide’ button in Moodle. This will enable teachers to decide which lectures they wish to share with students and which they prefer not to share.
