Two summative assessments.

Assessment 1 will be an in-class test weighted 50% first assessment
Assessment 2 will be an in-class test weighted 50% final assessment

Both assessments cover all learning outcomes.

A variety of learning strategies will be employed, including 18 hours of lectures and 18 hours of tutorial sessions.
Textbooks and flexible learning materials will be available for all students together with the possible use of reference books. The core material will be delivered in the contact time with the opportunity to gain confidence and competence through practice on carefully graded exercises. Students will also be expected to attempt further exercises in their own time.
