Module Learning Strategies
The style of the module is based on a series of presentations and tutorials introducing you to key topics. Notes, references and the module schedule will be available through Electronic Distributed Learning (e.g. on the Web). The emphasis of this module is to enable you to appreciate key .NET concepts through practical exercises and the use of Visual Studio .NET.
On-line learning strategies will be used extensively.
There will normally be one lecture, one practical and one workshop per week.
