face-to-face tutorials/day schools/workshops and/or online tutorials
using mathematical and scientific expressions, notations and associated techniques
working in a group with other students
using and producing diagrams or screenshots
undertaking practical work
finding external/third party material online
using technology for research purposes involving access to catalogues and databases online
working with specialist reading material
using specialist software (for example ANSYS simulation and design software)
continuous and end-of-module assessment in the form of essays, short answer questions, and in some cases an examination
using feedback: continuous assessment involves receiving detailed feedback on your work from your tutor and using this feedback to improve your performance
engagement with learning and assessment within a pre-determined schedule or timetable – time management will be needed during your studies and the University will help you to develop these skills throughout your degree.
