Teaching Pattern

Methodology Lecture: basic principles and instrumentations will be introduced and discussed. Examples will be used to illustrate the applications of various techniques. Tutorials: a set of tutorial problems will be given to allow students to apply the knowledge acquired from the lectures. Students are encouraged to solve the problems before seeking assistance. These will help students consolidate what they have learned and develop a deeper understanding of the subject.
