Learning and Teaching Strategies

استراتيجيات التعلم والتعليم

Strategies

 

The main strategy for delivering this module is to foster active student participation and enhance their critical thinking skills. This will be accomplished through a combination of classroom lectures, interactive tutorials, and engaging in simple experiments that involve hands-on sampling activities. By encouraging students to actively participate in exercises and discussions, we aim to refine and expand their critical thinking abilities. These interactive learning experiences will not only make the subject matter more interesting and relatable but also provide opportunities for practical application of the concepts taught in the course.

Note: Marks Decimal places above or below 0.5 will be rounded to the higher or lower full mark (for example a mark of 54.5 will be rounded to 55, whereas a mark of 54.4 will be rounded to 54. The University has a policy NOT to condone "near-pass fails" so the only adjustment to marks awarded by the original marker(s) will be the automatic rounding outlined above.
