This module will be delivered via two hours lectures and three hour practical per week over 12 weeks. Students may be required to access the material via Blackboard in advance of the lecture and practicals to encourage active learning. Group and peer learning will be facilitated through group-work in practicals.
Any course-related issue or questions that may arise will be discussed at lectures and practicals. Digital resources will be used as practicable.
