Module Learning Strategies
The lecture will support the one lab session of two hours each week. The lab sessions will support the underlying knowledge and skills required to complete the module and will be facilitated with booklets, course texts, and the internet. Within lab sessions students will undertake scripting sessions, software familiarisation, design activities, and a look at the wider perspective of architecture and organisation. Group discussions will also take place in these sessions. The lecture may some weeks take place in a lab with projector facilities so that the students can interactively engage with the practical content.
