PSO    Analytical Acumen

 

The teaching methods used by the faculty members include lectures, tutorials, seminars, and laboratory work. In a lecture period, an academic staff member or a visiting lecturer presents ideas or information to a body of students. Seminar assessments act as a platform to discuss ideas with students. The discussion is led by a member of the staff or a nominated student and moderated by one or more staff members. In a tutorial, the students solve problems under the guidance of a staff member with whom they can also discuss the information presented in a previous lecture. 

In each field, the time allocated over the semester to lectures, tutorials, seminars, and laboratory work is at the discretion of the lecturer involved. While more formal instruction (studies and laboratory work) necessarily constitutes an essential aspect of the work, tutorials and, to a lesser extent, seminars are of value in providing time for students to discuss their problems with staff members.
