|
(S1) A student will be able to demonstrate the following skills: |
|
(S2) * critical thinking - for example there are many different energy storage devices with advantageous and disadvantageous properties and scientific challenges to overcome - and the students ability to evaluate material presented to them can be assessed by short essay question in the examination |
Teaching and Learning Strategies |
|
This module consists of podcasts providing the material which normally would be presented in 30 lectures which will provide the background material necessary to succeed in this module, incl. the final exam. The podcasts will be supported by three synchronous tutorials/revision sessions (ideally face-to-face). Each lecturer will set and hold one tutorial/revision session. These will be followed by quantitative assignments which contribute to the total mark. In these tutorials and assignments students will have the opportunity to apply the knowledge that have gained from the lectures/podcast to problems of varying difficulty. |
