Planned learning activities and teaching methods | Lectures for learning the theory and fundamentals in dynamics where the lecturer explains with specific examples different aspects of dynamics and solve specific problems Weekly assignments in order to enforce the “every day” studying and prepare the students to readily attend the next class lecture Lectures are supplemented by laboratory exercises to investigate, test, and verify the taught principles, laws and methodologies Tutorials, where the students ask further questions on the lectures for better comprehension as well as frequent reviews and discussions | ||||||||||
