Planned learning activities and teaching methods |
Students are taught the course through lectures (3 hours per week)in classrooms or lectures theatres, by means of traditional tools or usingcomputer demonstration. Auditoryexercises, where examples regarding matter represented at the lectures, aresolved and further, questions related to particular open-ended topic issues arecompiled by the students and answered, during the lecture or assigned ashomework. Topic notes are compiled by students, duringthe lecture which serve to cover the main issues under consideration. Studentsare also advised to use the subject’s textbook or reference books for furtherreading and practice in solving related exercises. Tutorial problems are also submitted as homework and these aresolved during lectures or privately during lecturer’s office hours. Studentsare prepared for final exam, by revision on the matter taught, problem solvingand concept testing and are also trained to be able to deal with timeconstraints and revision timetable. The final assessment of the students isformative and is assured to comply with the subject’s expected learningoutcomes and the quality of the course. | ||||||||
