Numerical or Analytical Skills

Teaching-learning strategy:

Teachinglearning and
assessment
strategy

Teaching and learning will be via face to face, active learning and
cooperative/collaborative learning. Students will also be required to do their own
self-study for certain topics and assignments.
Assessment strategy:
Assessment will be both formative and summative. Students learning will be
assessed using quizzes, numerical tests, group assignments and final examination.

Mode of
Delivery

Lecture, Tutorial, Problem Based Learning (PBL)
