Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

This basic instructional approach is based on narrative technique. It is the basic teaching method that is mainly taught by the responsible teaching staff through the presentation of the theoretical information. In addition, an activity-based teaching method will also be used by exploring the structure of microprocessors in order to better understand the structure of operating systems.
