A dynamic approach to teaching will be used in this module centred around lectures, tutorials and practical classes and workshops. You will also be given guided self-study tasks and will be required to supplement this with independent study and research. Lectures: The main theoretical content will be delivered through a programme of lectures. During the follow-on practical classes and workshops, exercises will be distributed enabling you to both reinforce and evolve your appreciation of the material covered. Practical classes and workshops: Throughout the development of your solutions to the exercises, you will be encouraged to discuss your work with colleagues or the lecturer and even work in small groups if deemed appropriate. Throughout the practical laboratory and activity sessions, you will be strongly encouraged to investigate, manipulate and extend the material provided to underpin the underlying concepts and principles of the module.
