This practical coursework initially guided by the lecturer. These exercises aim to educate students and learn them to use the software commands taught in the lesson. In the second stage, students should create similar modeling objects using the same commands on their own. During exercises lecturer goes through each student for further assistance and solving any further questions.At the end of the course all exercises are graded.
