A series of tests and a major project, designed to be undertaken in teams of two students, and with ongoing feedback as an integral component, was introduced into scheduled tutorial classes, in an attempt to improve flagging student attendance and low student motivation. After a single semester of implementation, attendance at tutorials has improved (to nearly double the previous year), students are actively engaging in their work with their colleagues, and average assessment marks are a full grade higher compared to the previous student cohort.
