    LEARNING AND TEACHING METHODS
    This course is structured around 12 comprehensive online learning modules accessible via Canvas, enhanced by three insightful guest lectures from industry experts. Additionally, there are 7 practical lab tutorials providing hands-on experience. The course is designed for self-paced learning, with students encouraged to complete a minimum of one module weekly to align with the lab sessions. Each module is a blend of various topics, engaging activities, and interactive quizzes to reinforce learning. For any inquiries or discussions, students are invited to utilize the dedicated subject and module-specific discussion forums on Canvas, which are actively monitored and facilitated by our teaching team.
