This unit is delivered in a flipped-learning mode, in which the content is supplied prior to the lecture through online videos. The lecture is then an active session in which the learning for the week is consolidated further by application to problem-solving. Throughout the unit, weekly practice classes are used to focus on mastering basic concepts and problem-solving skills. Consolidation of the theory is then assessed through weekly quizzes and assignments. This all forms the basis for team-based projects where you apply your learning to practical applications while also improving your teamwork and report-writing skills.
