Synchronous sessions will support the lecture material with Q&A and problem-solving sessions where you can apply the new concepts. Surgery hours are also available for drop-in support.Feedback on problems and examples, feedback on coursework and exams, and model answers will also be provided through the virtual learning environment. A discussion board provides an opportunity to discuss topics related to the material presented in the module.Students are expected to expand the concepts presented in the session and online by additional reading (suggested in the Online Reading List) in order to consolidate their learning process and further stimulate their interest to the module.Study budget:<ul> <li>Core Learning Material (e.g. recorded lectures, problem solving sessions): 24 hours</li> <li>Self-Guided Work (e.g. continuous assessment, extra problems, reading)     : 44 hours</li> <li>Exam Style Assessment Revision and Preparation: 32 hours</li></ul></div>  0 Other 100% <table class="Table" style="border-collapse:collapse; border:solid windowtext 1.0pt" width="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="border:solid windowtext 1.0pt; width:276.2pt; padding:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt" valign="top" width="368">Assessment Types</td> <td style="border:solid windowtext 1.0pt; width:184.25pt; border-left:none; padding:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt" valign="top" width="246">Total Weighting</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border:solid windowtext 1.0pt; width:276.2pt; border-top:none; padding:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt" valign="top" width="368">Continuous assessment</td> <td style="border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt; width:184.25pt; border-top:none; border-left:none; border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt; padding:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt" valign="top" width="246">30%</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border:solid windowtext 1.0pt; width:276.2pt; border-top:none; padding:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt" valign="top" width="368">Final Exam</td> <td style="border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt; width:184.25pt; border-top:none; border-left:none; border-right:solid windowtext 1.0pt; padding:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt" valign="top" width="246">70%</td> </tr> </tbody></table>Please note that the exam style assessments weighting may be split over midterm and end of semester exams.
