Workload and teaching
- Lectures24 hours
- Teaching approachActive learning
The minimum total expected workload to achieve the learning outcomes for this unit is 144 hours per semester typically comprising a mixture of up to 2 hours of scheduled learning activities and 10-12 hours of independent study per week. Scheduled activities may include a combination of teacher-directed learning, peer-directed learning and online engagement. Independent study may include associated readings, assessment and preparation for scheduled activities.
The project will be based on a research problem. You will bring in necessary learning while actively undertaking this project.
