Methodologies |
Description | |
Laboratory practicals | Experimental assays, problem-solving, or computer simulations. Students will perform or follow an experimental protocol adhering to good laboratory practices. In these sessions, both students and the instructor will discuss the results obtained, analyzing their significance and interest. |
Personal tuition | Specialized in-person or online tutorials through educational support platforms. |
Lecture | Presentation or discussion of the subject matter content. |
Personalized attention |
