The lecture will support the two lab sessions. 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. The lab sessions will cover such topics as learning software, design issues, implementation and testing. Students will also be set a specific problem that requires a solution to be found, working through a tutorial book or analysing a case study.
Twice in the twelve week teaching block will be used as a surgery session for peer and self assessment to provide formative feedback and for guidance on assessment work.

Independent study will involve directed reading in order to extend knowledge in areas of the indicative content covered by the classroom teaching.
