Module Additional Assessment Details
1. An assignment weighted at 25% assessing learning outcomes 3 and 4.
2. A class test weighted at 75% assessing learning outcome 1, 2 and 4.
1. The COURSEWORK will be an assignment, comprising milestones, where reasonably sophisticated problems and techniques are implemented using a mathematical package. This will cover learning outcomes 3 and 4.
2. The CLASS TEST will comprise 3 class tests, equally weighted, each of duration 1 hour 40 minutes, to assess the application of the techniques to problems and the interpretation of the solutions. This will cover learning outcomes 1, 2 and 4.

Module Learning Strategies
The material will be introduced over 72 hours consisting of lectures (48 hours) and examples classes, tutorials and practicals in groups of no more than 20 students, (24 hours) together with supplementary MAPLE material.
This will usually be delivered as 2 lectures and 1 tutorial/practical per week.
