Crampin now discusses the teaching strategy and why the course is activity centred. Bob Coates and Derek Goldrei talk about how the student can get the best out of the programmes and how to stay abreast of the work involved. Bob Coates talks about marked assignments and then interviews, Mike Pengelly about the best approach to adopt towards this work. Using a calculator Derek Goldrei describes how to work out solutions to equations, simplified into their nested form. He solves several equations using this technique. |
