LEARNING & TEACHING STRATEGIES


- Lecture sessions: Lectures will introduce key concepts using a combination of slides and
programming demonstrations.
- Lab Tutorial sessions: Formative exercises are issued per lab session. Teaching assistants
engage with students seeking help or further clarification on programming topics. Students will
actively participate in completing the assigned lab tutorial exercises. Exercises undertaken during
the lab tutorial sessions will flow into student-directed study sessions.
