3. Comment on the venue as appropriate for tutoring.

• Registers: Attendance registers should be generated for each tut group with a column to note late arrival or early departure in addition to attendance.
• Folders and files
– Each tutor should be provided with a lever arch file with dividers. – Tutorial homework folders (plain cardboard A4) should be provided for each student. Records of homework completed should be kept in this folder for the year. It should contain printed information with space for the student’s name, student number and tut group number, plus columns for the tutor to fill in the date and tick completion of homework plus a space for the mark and a short comment. This can either be printed on the inside of the folder – or stapled in. The former is more secure. Students must be charged for replacing lost folders.

Administrative Support for B AccSc • Division of students into tut groups. Groups should always be of mixed ability levels. (It isn’t necessary to spend time on this – since an alphabetical split will normally produce groups of mixed ability. Dividing students by student number however generally puts all repeating students together and therefore fails to produce mixed ability groups). • Tut times and venues – These should be clearly posted on notice boards and online. Any changes must be made immediately these are known – and a notice posted on the relevant venue doors as well as on the notice board and online. – A pre-tut meeting venue allowing tutors and the lecturer of the course to meet for a full period before the tut must be allocated if different from the tut venue.
