How is the taught element taught?
Not every course follows the same format, for example, data analysis courses require work in a micro-lab and on web-based material to accompany supporting lectures, but many substantive courses take the form of two hour seminars in which a lecturer will set out the outline for the day’s discussions, and may introduce key ideas and concepts, and then will proceed to guide students in discussion. This means that the onus is on students to come prepared for such discussion, having read adequate material from lists provided in course handbooks.
