PSB students please note: The project represents a major assessment item in this course. Course material is rearranged for part-time evening students in UoN Singapore (block mode) so that lecture material is presented in the early weeks of the course and the latter weeks primarily focus on project work. On-going access to lecture / tutorial staff is maintained during the project period through scheduled help desks / open labs.
Quiz - Class Class quizzes as per course handout
Contact Hours Laboratory: for 2 hour(s) per Week for Full Term
Lecture: for 4 hour(s) per Week for Full Term
