Course Plan
The course combines a weekly plenary lecture with a programme of small-group tutorials. Lectures establish shared concepts, frameworks, and case material, while tutorials provide structured, hands-on engagement with both technical and professional competencies. Together, they are designed to support progressive skill development across the semester.
Please view the official course summary [here].
Lectures
The overall sequencing of lectures, tutorials, and assessment milestones is outlined in the course plan [link], which indicates when key topics are introduced and how tutorial activities align with assessed work.
Tutorials
Structure and Requirements
Throughout the semester, tutorials are conceptualised as two complementary types of learning experience:
- Stream 1 — Technical Capability
- Stream 2 — Professional & Communication Skills
The two streams run alongside the lecture programme and complement one another across the semester.
| Stream 1: Technical Competencies | Stream 2: Professional Competencies | |
|---|---|---|
| Focus & Scope | Technical foundations for working with AI systems, covering computational setup, core machine-learning concepts, and hands-on interaction with models through code and interfaces. | Professional skills for analysing, framing, communicating, and critiquing AI-assisted work in academic and practice-oriented contexts. |
Please view the current schedule of planned tutorials [here].
Tutorial Timing & Registration
Tutorials will begin in Week 3.
Students may register directly for their preferred tutorial session each week through the online sign-up sheet [link]. Students may choose different tutorial sessions from week to week according to their availability.
Tutorial attendance will contribute to your participation grade. You are required to attend at least 80% of the 10 tutorial sessions — though, of course, we would be very happy to see you at all of them!
Each tutorial session has 12 places available for sign-up, allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. When registering, please provide your UID and full name, and please be courteous to your classmates by signing up only for sessions you intend to attend and updating your entry if your plans change.
