Teaching Rationale And Relationship
The use of lecturing as the principal teaching method is justified by the technical nature of the subject and the need to provide initial exposition to assist students in achieving the requisite knowledge base. The seminars focus strongly on the skills outcomes and especially on the problem solving skills. The seminars provide the opportunity to demonstrate knowledge, understanding and application. The private study takes the form of directed study following on from lectures and in preparing for seminars.
