Flipped classroom strategy

Many traditional lectures are now online resources

Can access when and where you wish, as many times as you like

You need to do your “homework” before you come to class

Maximise what you get out of your face-to-face classes

Up to you to organise your follow-up study

Work in a team in and out of class

Full-time study is a full-time job

Curtin University is a trademark of Curtin University of TechnologyCRICOS Provider Code 00301J

Entry to your course does not guarantee graduation nor employment

This opportunity is yours to set yourself up for a rewarding and satisfying career
