Applied Maths 2 - XPX0011

Assessment 1: Other

A range of homework assignments of relatively short duration are set on a weekly basis. This provides regular and detailed feedback to students so that they can build an awareness of their rate and level of progress and of their strengths and weaknesses. On-going discussions with their tutor provide the students with strategies for improvement.
