Module Learning Strategies
The development of your skills as a critical evaluator, in terms of your choice of tools and techniques and of your problem-solving capabilities as you engage in analysis and design processes. You can seek guidance from your supervisor as you evaluate your proposed solutions - you will need to look at problems from more than one angle.
An important part of the learning strategy is the direct one-to-one supervision of your project by a supervisor. Contact hours represent 4 hours of meetings with the supervisor.
