Teaching Pattern
• Weekly class contact consists of a two
hour lecture and a two hour tutorial.
• You should expect to spend twelve
additional hours a week in independent
and directed study.
• Lectures will support the tutorials, but
there will be only a weak coupling.
Reading List
• There is a reading list in the Module
Organiser.
• The library is busy acquiring / has already
acquired a few copies of each book.
