Every student will receive a module handbook containing a copy of previous year's exam diets. Topics are introduced in lectures. Lectures and seminars will be used flexibly in accordance with the needs of the module. Worked examples will be covered in lectures at the start of each topic so freeing seminar contact time for discussion of further examples and their solutions.
