TEACHING Theoretical and Problem-based discussion
(PBD) Students are advised on topics to be covered and
preparatory readings and questions are assigned prior to lecture session
Lecturer and students discuss topics interactively based on the preparatory questions
Students take their own notes during discussion Group Experiential Learning (GEL)
Students carry out modeling, simulation and performance analysis of protocols in groups of 3-5 students
Groups share their findings in class Group project
TIMETABLE Monday 9-11am: EEK2 Tuesday 11am to 1pm: EEK3 (but mostly
in the Data Communication Lab on the 2nd Floor) – cancelled - change as below
