The learning strategies will require students to commit 150 learning hours, of which 36 hours will consist of contact time. A combination of lectures (24 Hours) and tutorial/workshops (12 hours, 20 students per group) will provide students with the opportunity to develop a range of mathematical skills.
A further 114 hours of independent study will require students to further develop and practise these skills using a combination of formative and summative assessment exercises independently and as part of a small group.

THIS MODULE WILL NORMALLY RUN IN SEMESTER 1
