Learning and Teaching MethodsLectures (10×1hour) and practical work (10 hours). Directed background reading. Students are required to work to weekly deadlines for the completion of homework and must therefore develop appropriate coping strategies. In particular, it will be necessary for them to work consistently through the week and manage their time carefully. Students are encouraged to discuss homework problems with each other.
