9. Teaching and Learning Strategies

 Strategy
The main strategy that will be adopted in delivering this module is to
encourage students’ participation in the exercises, while at the same time
refining and expanding their critical thinking skills. This will be achieved
through classes, interactive tutorials and by considering type of simple
experiments involving some sampling activities that are interesting to the
students. This will be achieved throw the following strategies:
1. Explaining the Lecture plan and in-class activities.
2. Each class will commence with a summary of the previous
lecture.
3. Questions will be asked and the responses will be used to evaluate
the students’ understanding of the topics covered.
Oral and power point presentations by the students are made to participate
in the lecture.

11.Course Evaluation
 1. Quizzes:
- There will be (8 – 12) closed books and notes quizzes during the academic year.
- The quizzes will count 30% (15% theory of machines + 15% mechanics of materials)
of the total course grade.
2. Quizzes, 2-3 questions, and will count 10%.
3. Extracurricular Activities, this is optional and will count extra marks (1 – 5 %) for the
student, depending on the type of activity.
4. Final Exam:
- Final exam will be comprehensive, with closed books and notes, and will take place on
June 2023 from 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM in room (M5 + M6)
5. The final exam will count 70% of the total course grade.
