Online Practical classes and workshops 8 Hands-on activities will be an opportunity to promote real-world application, peer collaboration, and feedback for experiential learning and skill development in a practical setting.
Online Guided independent study 146 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.

Assessment
Type of Assessment Weighting % LOs covered Week due Length in Hours/Words Description
Class Test 20 4 Week 5 HOURS= 1000 words Students are given a digital design problem where the sequence must be derived or is partially known and produce a sequence generator design. (M2) The design must use simulation software to test for correct operation (M3) The students will have 2hrs to complete both the theory (submitted personally) & simulation project file (submitted online).
Report 20 1~2 Week 13 , WORDS= 2000 words Analogue Filter Design which students must produce a solution from a given problem (M2) and then analyse the results using simulation (M3) and practical (M12, M13) procedures. The report will discuss the results and the limitations of the chosen filter design (M2).
