Approach to Learning and Teaching in the Course

 

This course adopts the principles of student-centred learning and dialectics.

 

• This involves a combination of providing information to students and motivating them to use this information in problem-solving environments.

 

• Students as active participants are expected to take responsibility for their own individual and collective learning.

 

• The course involves lectures, workshops, presentations, discussions, and individual and group learning activities and assignments.

 

• Assignments are designed to enable students to undertake individual and group learning guided by the teacher.
