There will therefore be some flexibility in the rate and level of the tasks that are accomplished. As the text book and the cyberclassroom CD-ROM replace the regular Lectures it will be possible for students to advance at a faster rate than the schedule above. In the Journal they will make notes about things that need extra explanation, or shortcuts and reminders of how to go about certain tasks. Also, the Journal, like a lab book, is an assessable item . It will be possible for students to be tested earlier or later than in the indicated schedule.
All tests have to be passed in order to demonstrate basic competency and pass the course.
Each student is to produce a demonstration application that illustrates each of the techniques covered in the course. Applications have to be demonstrated by Week 14. Earlier demonstrations will permit the opportunity for feedback and revision which could result in a higher mark.
