Module Learning Strategies
You will be provided with material through an Electronic Distributed Learning Environment (for example, Blackboard). The material will be presented via printable handouts; presentations and demonstrations. These will included worked examples, to illustrate how solutions to problems are developed. It is important that you keep up-to-date with the schedule and work through the tutorial exercises provided to ensure your understanding of the material. Support will be provided via a discussion group on Blackboard and email contact with the module tutors.
