Programme Outcomes
Teaching & Learning Strategies/Assessment Methodology:
The module is assessed by means of a test (worth 10%) of basic techniques and knowledge in week 5/6 and on one laboratory including calculations and reporting of results (worth 10%). The final exam will enable the student to demonstrate knowledge of the topics covered and apply the analysis to posed problems. Continuous Assessment: 20% Final Exam: 80% | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
