This course is presented using the self-paced cyberclassroom workshop approach. Apart from the initial lecture which introduces and course and the approach, all work is carried out in the computer lab, and on the student's own machines.
Students work in pairs on the lab machines, but do their own assessment.
There is no group assessment. This is the first time that this course has been taught, and the first time that this approach has been used. 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.
