Planned learning activities and teaching methods | The course will be presented through lectures in class. The aim of the lectures is to provide the student with the thinking process of the instructor and allow for questions related to issues that may come up during the presentation. Part of the material will be presented using visual aids (normally in Power Point presentations). The aim is to familiarize the student with the different and faster pace of presentation and also allow the instructor to present related material (photographs etc) that would otherwise be very difficult to do. The learning process will be enhanced with the requirement from the student to solve exercises. These include self evaluation exercises which will be solved in class by the students in the presence of the instructor. This will give the students the opportunity to solve problems and if they have difficulties then discuss with the instructor. The exercises will not be graded rather they will provide the student a way to evaluate their ability to solve problems. Exercises will also be given to the students to solve as homework assignment. Those will be part of their assessment. Part of the teaching process will be the availability of the course material to the students. In addition to the class notes which the students will take during normal lectures, the instructor will make available all the class notes, presentations and other relevant material. This will be possible through the class website which is developed and also the use of MOODLE. Finally the instructor will be available to students during office hours or by appointment in order to provide any necessary tutoring. | ||||||||
