Teaching Pattern

Methodology All projects will be the individual project. Each student registered in the project will have a project supervisor, who is normally a member of the academic staff. With guidance from the project supervisor, each student is encouraged to choose and propose his/her own project theme. After conducting literature searches and critically assessing the material, each student is required to submit a proposal and to carry out an independent research project in the laboratory. Supervisors meet with students regularly to monitor their progress. The major role of supervisor is to provide advice and guidance to the student throughout the development of the project. However, the supervisor shall make sure that the guidance leaves the student ample scope to demonstrate initiative for thinking and working independently and creatively. At the completion of the project, a written report and an oral presentation are required. The project is assessed by the achievement of proposed objectives, planning and execution of work, interpretation of results and presentation of results. -- 1 of 3 --
