There are such things as lectures and tutorials in RMIT
Lectures:
They are usually bigger with about 200-600 students all attending the same lecture as you in the same hall so it might be noisy sometimes.
Most lectures are recorded on Lectopia (RMIT's online lecture system) but it is no excuse not to attend lectures though.
As a general rule it is not nice to eat and drink in lectures. But early in the morning some students love to have coffee and tea in class which is fine. Sometimes if a lecture is going on for two hours you can have a ten minute break.
Tutorials:
They have about 25-30 students in each class and they are mainly used to discuss points raised in the lectures as well as assignments. Some of them such as computer lab based assesment are also practicals to test your understanding.
Sometimes there will be tests during your tutorial times as part of RMIT assesment practice. Some of the subjects may need you to hand in assesments during your class time.
Most tutorials go for two hours with some of them going for three hours. Most tutorials have a ten minute break in between.
You can also ask lots of questions during this time. No question is too dumb or stupid.
You need to timetable in to both your lecture and tutorial using RMIT's online timetabling system. You can only do this two days after you have enrolled into courses.
A note though: they both run on time. If you are really late they might not let you in. It is rude to be late for any of them
Generally you are expected to have your own paper and pens and take your own notes. The Study and Learning centre runs classes on notetaking. Some students love to bring their Laptop/iPad which is totally fine and encouraged for the SAB building
