Course Delivery Strategy
The course delivery system is composed of both theoretical and practice-based teaching.
· In class lectures and online supplement will be the major methods of course delivery for theoretical aspects.
· For practice-based teaching, students will be assigned into groups(5-10 in a group) with members of the group making a presentations of about 10 minutes each(including presentation and feedback time).
