Workload and teaching
- Teaching approachActive learning
The unit requires a far larger workload commitment than other units, approximately 300 hours, during the period of October-April. (This is beyond the standard workload, because the team represents the university, and is a small, select group. All students take on the subject only after an interview, during which the extraordinary workload is explained to them.)
