Learning and Teaching Strategies

استراتيجيات التعلم والتعليم

Strategies

The main strategy for delivering this module is to foster active student participation in exercises, while simultaneously enhancing their critical thinking abilities. This will be accomplished through engaging classes, interactive tutorials, and the inclusion of various sampling activities and simple experiments that captivate student interest. By employing these methods, students will have the opportunity to refine their critical thinking skills and actively apply their knowledge in practical settings.

Fail Group (0 – 49)	F – Fail	راسب	(0-44)	Considerable amount of work required

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.
