1.1 Tutorial Times

Tutorials start in week 1. Please check your timetable and the University timetable for details. You must attend the tutorials you are enrolled in.

Tutorials will not be recorded.

1.2 Tutorial Details and Materials

The tutorial schedule is provided in the plan on the homepage.

There will be two types of tutorial questions:

• Tutorial exercises have been especially selected as more advanced exercises facilitating revisions and discussions during the face to face tutorials.
• Extra exercises, to be completed ideally before the tutorial, but that can also help with revisions after tutorials. Tutors won’t discuss those questions in the tutorials, but will, of course, answer questions if you have any.

Note

In the past, solutions were only released after the tutorials. We are trying this new approach in 2026, and hope that will help students be more engaged during tutorials, and come with questions.

1.3 Private Tutoring Services

The Faculty has become increasingly concerned about the existence of a number of private tutoring services operating in Melbourne that heavily target University of Melbourne students enrolled in FBE subjects.

Students are urged to show caution and exercise their judgement if they are considering using any of these services, and to please take note of the following:

• Any claim by any of these businesses that they have a “special” or “collaborative” or “partnership” style relationship with the University or Faculty is false and misleading. Any claim by a private tutoring service that they are in possession of, or can supply you with, forthcoming University exam or assignment questions or “insider” or “exclusive” information is also false and misleading.
• The University has no relationship whatsoever with any of these services and takes these claims very seriously as they threaten to damage the University’s reputation and undermine its independence.

It is also not appropriate for students to provide course materials (including University curricula, reading materials, exam and assignment questions and answers) to operators of these businesses for the purposes of allowing them to conduct commercial tutoring activities. Doing so may amount to misconduct and will be taken seriously. Those materials contain intellectual property owned or controlled by the University.

We encourage you to bring to the attention of Faculty staff any behaviour or activity that is not aligned with University expectations or policy as outlined above.
