Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

1. Lessons
Lecturer leads students for giving answer to questions and want to present their opinions about lesson content. Lessons are for assessment done on environment of informations are about sample data analizing.
2. Review Sessions and Class Discussions
Review Sessions will be carried out by lecturer on the last time of lesson at the every week. Homeworks and presentations that done by students will generate base of problems at this sessions. With this, attendance to class discussions of students will encourage.
3. Computer Applications
In the computer applications, data processing program will be introduced for executing data interpretations.Informations are about using of this softwares will be provided by using class applications are related to data interpretation, discussions and resource books that related to data processing method.
