I have now posted the actual exam paper used last Thursday week, along with the answers
on the Module Assessment page.
This is a level 4, 15-credit module running in Semester B.
Class Contact Arrangements
In most weeks there will be two hours of lectures, where material is presented and described.
Each student also has one hour of tutorial and one hour of practical timetabled each week.
The tutorials will generally be spent doing exercises on the material from the previous week's
lectures as well as providing an opportunity to ask for help or for some item to be covered
again in a smaller group.
You will be given work to do in the practicals that will enhance your understanding of
the material you are learning. Some of the questions in the test and the exam will be almost
trivial if you have done the practicals and almost impossible if you have not.
Directed Learning
Finally, there will be guided reading and exercises to do in your own time. In the
lectures, we do not present every aspect of everything you are expected to
learn. You should be spending an average of around 7 or 8 hours per week
working on a 15-credit module like this, so you will need to find time to work outside the timetabled classes.
