Lectures will be the forum for the introduction and general discussion of each topical area. Although lecture slides will be made available to students, they can be obtained from the course's web site (see above & below). To assimilate the information more readily and in turn enhance better quality discussions, students are advised to read the relevant chapters prior to attending the lecture at which it will be discussed. The lecturer will assume that this has been done.
Tutorials will follow 1 week after each lecture and will be the forum for students to cement the material covered in those lectures via the working of tutorial questions. These tutorial questions will comprise of computational problems, essays and cases taken from the end-of-chapter exercises. The selected tutorial questions will be made available on the course's web site as well as distributed in class. The solutions will be made available before hand on the course's web site to facilitate a student-centered learning approach. Note, it is IMPORTANT that even though the solutions are available before hand, students must attempt the questions first, then look at the solutions. Do NOT cheat yourself!
