Class attendance is compulsory. Students are advised to attend lectures because important information related to the module such as syllabus as well as types and method of assessment will be covered during the lecture sessions.

√ SELF-INDEPENDENT STUDY Students are responsible to do exercises, self-studying and search for additional information and references from the library or the internet.
