Lectures & Tutorials

Ever wondered what's it like to study in NYP? How are the classes conducted, what do they mean by lectures and tutorials? Fret no more, all your questions are answered here!

Tutorials

In NYP, we don't have classes where you stay in one class and different teachers come in to teach you the different subjects. In NYP, class rooms are actually called tutorial rooms where you move from one tutorial room to another tutorial room. These tutorials are typically 2 hours long. It's where you tutors (teachers) go through your assignments (homework) for the week. The more you participate in these tutorials the more *class participation marks you earn!

Now that you know about tutorials let's take a look at Lectures.

Lectures

A lecture is where your lecturers give a one or two hour lecture based on your module. Yes he/she will talk continuously for one or two hours! But it isn't that bad (; In one week, you will usually have one lecture and one tutorial per module (subject). There are around 5-6 modules in each semester.

*Class participation is when you participate in your tutorials by answering questions.
