Module Learning Strategies
This module takes a practical perspective in looking at internet applications and systems. In order that students begin the module effectively a series of introductory lectures related to the module and coding paradigms will be given. This will enable students to seek advice to remove any problems they have. In subsequent weeks of the module practical tasks will be set with detailed note sets made available to students. In places there will be precoded examples and also model solutions. Throughout these weeks the student will have access to the tutor should they become stuck and require advice. The student will also be provided with lecture notes on theory to back up things such as databases and systems design in general. These aspects will be examined in a test scenario so teaching will take the form of lectures and comprehensive note sets. The tutor will make themselves available should clarification be required.
A discussion list will be set up for the module to discuss problems and to share solutions and ideas.
