Teaching Rationale And Relationship

The examination provides the opportunity for the student to demonstrate their understanding of the lecture course material. The assignment enables students to test their deeper understanding of the material presented in the lectures. Laboratory sessions offer the opportunity for reinforcement of key concepts through the use of hands on experiments, designed to complement the material presented as part of the formal lectures.

Assessment Methods

The format of resits will be determined by the Board of Examiners
