Module Learning Strategies
52 hours of lab based workshops, which consist of follow-along lectures and tutorial work.
The lab-based lectures will support the underlying knowledge and skills required to complete the module and will be facilitated with follow-along coding sessions, booklets, course texts, and the Internet. Within these sessions group discussions will also take place.
