Learning and Teaching Strategies:
Lectures are conducted to introduce concepts of covered topics and to elaborate

important and difficult areas, providing a meaningful framework and a focus for text
reading and the corresponding tutorials.
Tutorials are used to facilitate learning in student-centred approach through various

activities, such as group discussion, case studies, and presentations.
Through assignments and class exercises, students will have opportunities to

develop a deeper understanding of the concepts in applying to real world situations
and to clarify unclear concepts in an interactive and pleasant learning atmosphere.
