3. Strategies and approaches to learning

3.1 Learning and teaching activities

This course enables you to develop skills that will enhance your understanding in data structure and
concerned systems. The course is designed to have a very practical orientation. Learning in this field
requires students to participate in working on the various aspects of neural networks and artificial
intelligence systems. Through the process of creating assignments, you will problem solving skills in
innovative ways. The course is delivered in a blended format, comprised of face-to-face tutorials with
lectures. In the face-to-face tutorials you will be expected to attend 100% of lectures, with a minimum
limit of 75%. The online component will enable you to experience various data structure related
problems.

3.2 Expectations of students
An integral part of this course is consistent engagement in class and lab activities as well as the
online component. You may fail the course if you do not attend regularly, even if you complete all
assignments. The students are expected to check their attendance on AMIZONE. The course material
and other academic details will also be updated through AMIZONE. You must actively participate in
classes and online group work and complete all set work to a satisfactory standard as discussed in
class and in the course profile within the stipulated deadline.

4. Course schedule and structure

[This course consists of 36 hours of class contact hours. You are expected to take an additional 2
hours of non-class contact hours to complete assessments, readings and exam preparation.]

6. Academic integrity, referencing and plagiarism

Referencing is a way of acknowledging the sources of information that you use to research your
assignments. You need to provide a reference whenever you draw on someone else's words, ideas or
research. Not referencing other people's work can constitute plagiarism.
Further information about referencing styles can be located at http://www.apastyle.org/learn/quick-
guide-on-references.aspx

Academic integrity is fundamental to success at university. Academic integrity can be defined as a

commitment to six fundamental values in academic pursuits: honesty, trust, fairness, respect,
responsibility and courage. At Amity, this means that your work must be your own, and others’ ideas
should be appropriately acknowledged. If you don’t follow these rules, plagiarism may be detected in
your work.
