Teaching Rationale And Relationship
Lectures and the Distance Learning material provide core material and guidance for further reading. The Distance Learning material also provides problem solving practice and improves planning skills and on-line and computer competences and gives the students the opportunity to manage their own learning. Besides, the post module assignment develops research skills and the ability to utilise relevant information from many sources.
