Face-to-Face Tutorial

Face-to-face tutorial falls into two categories: compulsory and on-demand. Compulsory face-to-face tutorial is given to students who register for courses under a scheme which face-to-face tutorial is a part of the school fees. Commonly, it is given to students under the scholarship program. Meanwhile, on-demand tutorial is held based on students’ request. Students may submit a proposal for the face-to-face tutorial to the Regional Office. The Regional Office then sets up the face-to-face tutorial, including appointing the tutors and the locations. The face-to-face tutorial consists of eight sessions in a semester. Based on the experience, it is apparent that face-to-face tutorial is the most preferred mode of tutorial by students.

Online Tutorial

Like the face-to-face tutorial, the online tutorial is carried out for eight sessions (two months). Nowadays, the online tutorial is offered for all courses in all study programs. All students are able to participate in the online tutorial. During the tutorial, students are able to discuss with the tutors and the other students both synchronously and asynchronously.

Radio Tutorial
