Handbook

Active learning will occur in lectures and applied classes: regular written assignments will assist you in your  revision and learning process; it will teach you to apply the theory discussed in the lectures to explicit problems in algebra. The applied classes will foster group work and discussions: you will collaborate in small groups to work on selected problems. This will foster team-working skills, problem solving skills, and mathematical communication skills (written and oral).

Where you fail the hurdle but would have otherwise achieved a mark of 45 or above you will be awarded a mark of 45 and an NH (hurdle fail) for the unit.

Where you fail the hurdle and would also have failed the unit with a mark of 44 or below, you will be awarded your mark and an N (fail) grade for the unit.

• Applies to all offerings

• Applies to all offerings

• Three 1-hour lectures and
• One 1.5-hour applied class per week (in weeks 2-12)

Typed skeleton notes

This is a typed version of the lectures notes, but without proofs and significant examples.

Handwritten lecture notes

These are lecture notes that will be prepared live during the lectures; the pdf will be uploaded immediately after each lecture.

Lecture recordings

Echo360 recordings will be provided.

Additional material

The lecturer will upload supplementary material (non-examinable) to cater for students who are interested in further studies.

The lecturer will recommend a couple of algebra text books; these books are not required, but interested students are encouraged to look up topics in various text books.
