Course concept

The concept of this course is that it is centered around problem solving. Student will be given a new problem each week that is solved individually or in group. The necessary knoweldge for solving a problem is taught by means of an interactive e-book that combines text, recorded learning units, self-study problems and remote laboratory exercises to name a few. Each problem is discussed in class and analyzed from different angles such as to build a solid base for continued studies in this field. By means of laboratory exercises, students apply their knowledge on real test data and learn how to interpret results beyond generic problems. An online discussion forum is maintained, in which students can discuss subject-specific questions with their peers as well as with faculty. Weekly self-assessment tests are performed online in Bilda such as to test knowledge and povide an additional way to stay on the ball.
