Teaching Strategies
The teaching in this course aims at establishing a good fundamental understanding of the areas covered
using:
• Formal face-to-face lectures
• Tutorials, which allow for exercises in problem solving and allow time for students to resolve
problems in understanding of lecture material.
• Laboratory sessions, which support the formal lecture material and also provide the student with
practical construction, measurement and debugging skills.
• Small periodic quizzes, to enable students to assess their understanding of the concepts.
• Online course.
