Student Activity (Notional Equivalent Study Hours (NESH))
Mode of activityLearning & Teaching ActivityNESH (Study Hours)NESH Description
Face To Face Lecture 22 Each week you attend a 2 hour lecture where we will use various interactive activities to stimulate critical thinking, and foster a collaborative environment to enhance your understanding and retention of the module content.
Face To Face Practical classes and workshops 8 Practical classes and workshops Students will build, test & analyse various digital & Electrical/Analogue circuits(M12)
Face To Face Tutorial 14 Tutorials are designed to encourage active participation, facilitate problem-solving, provide personalised feedback, and promote peer interaction to deepen comprehension and skills. Appropriate questions will be provided to support your preparation for assessments and promote understanding of the concepts from the lectures.
Online Guided independent study 156 A learning approach where students take responsibility for their own learning process, with support and direction from academics through tutorials and research assessments. This method combines the independence of self-directed study with the guidance of a structured framework provided by academic staff.
