    LEARNING AND TEACHING METHODS

    These modules will be taught using a combination of self-guided readings, tutorial/practice classes (3 hours/weeks) and group work. Readings provide the basic theory and applications, tutorial support learning of this material through sample problems and discussion in practice classes. Students practice the application of this theory to Civil Hydraulics problems in group projects for each module. There are no traditional lectures in this subject.
