Study advice (preparation and review)
To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
Textbook(s)
None required.
Reference books, course materials, etc.
Course materials are provided during class.
Evaluation methods and criteria
Practice problems and interpretation for confirming the level of understanding or quality of writing reports (50%), level of class participation (50%) (The level of class participation will be assessed by discussion, small examination and so on in the lecture.)
