Planned learning activities and teaching methodsThe course will be presented through theoretical lectures in class. The lectures will present to the student the course content and allow for questions. Part of the material will be presented using visual aids. 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 carry out assignments. Besides from the notes taken by students in class, all of the course material will be made available through the class website and also through MOODLE. Finally the instructor will be available to students during office hours or by appointment in order to provide any necessary tutoring
