Course Methods and Techniques
|
The subject is explained by the instructor in class and then sample problems are solved. If there is a laboratory experiment related to that subject, it is conducted in the laboratory the following week and students are asked to write a report about the experiment. Students' progress is measured and evaluated with quizzes. Students are asked to prepare a term project about real life and submit it at the end of the term.
