Course dates 2008 & 2009

location: Darebin Masonic Centre (Ivalda Temple), 40-42 Salisbury Ave, Ivanhoe (Melways ref.: 31 D9) time: 8:45 - 11:30

Course Description

The course is of two years duration, each year consisting of four Modules of approximately three hours each. It is anticipated that participants complete four Modules per year but the course is structured to allow reasonable flexibility.

Each Module consists of attendance at a 'tutorial' and the submission of an essay of at least 500 words on the material discussed in the tutorial and suggested reading.

reference materials

Reference materials will be supplied during the Tutorial Sessions.

assessment

Assessment will be based on the following:

• adequate pre-reading as preparation for discussion at each tutorial;
• degree of participation in the discussions at each tutorial; and
