Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

1. Lectures: The course is carried out in lecture and class discussion format. Characteristics of wooden ship forms, ship-building techniques and the technology will be discussed. Different forms of wooden ships will be examined and taught illustration.
2. Assignment: All students are given homework assignments and they present their works to the class in the last hour of lecture. To work on these assignments, to understand them, to share the assignment results of in-class discussions are required to complete the course successfully.
