PROGRAMME SPECIFICATIONS
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this module, a student will be able to:
Mechanics
Teaching Methods
The class contact will consist of lectures together with tutorials. Lectures will introduce the theory and provide examples of its application. Key elements of the learning strategy are regular worksheets in which students are encouraged to practice their Physical problem solving and mathematical techniques. These will be discussed in the tutorials.
Mechanics
Assessment Methods
This module is assessed through a Portfolio of assessment questions and an examination.
