Laboratory and practical classes
In many Science disciplines students spend considerable parts of their time doing a wide range of practical or laboratory work. Here the learning is very 'hands on' and classes are designed to allow students to practice and develop a wide range of discipline-based techniques and personal skills.
- Providing an opportunity to apply and investigate theoretical and conceptual knowledge
- Developing a range of experimental techniques and approaches
- Improving skills in collecting, analyzing, interpreting and presenting findings and data
- Practicing a wide range of personal and transferable skills such as problem solving, team working, observing and following protocols
- Learning how to manage resources (including time)
- Working more effectively and safely in a laboratory or in the field.
