Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

Lessons
Students of faculty members, asks the students to produce projects that directs and
application examples. Review and analysis of new technologies, practices and homework
application studio stage, encountered practical skills in the first and the last hour
of the course by the instructor each week will be shown in practice. The participation
of students in class discussions, present their ideas and views on the preparation of
projects will be encouraged significantly.
Applications
The application process, students are shown examples of the production process will use
a method of how students are informed of the trial are expected to give a similar
example in a three-week period.
