Module Learning Strategies
24 hours lectures and 12 hours tutorials/practicals.
Formal lectures will be supplemented by tutorial sessions and surgeries in which students will be able to develop their analytical skills. The application of theoretical models to real situations will be supplemented by laboratory exercises. The exercises in association with case studies will be the basis of the in-course assessment.
