Paper Structure

Edit Paper Structure Content

This paper is taught in 3 different ways:

1. Short pre-recorded Panopto videos of the lecturer lecturing on various topics, as listed in the course outline, and with Powerpoint slides

2. A face-to-face class session of 60-90 minutes, focused on case studies and practical exercise, during regular class time (2 PM on Wednesdays)

3. A Zoom class of 60-90 minutes, equivalent to the face-to-face session (1 PM on Tuesdays)

Please note that you are expected to watch the relevant Panopto videos prior to either the face-to-face or Zoom sessions. Please also note that the face-to-face and Zoom sessions will be virtually the same, and so you're not expected to attend both (unless you wish to do so, of course).
