There is no textbook for this course. Students will be able to access all their learning materials on Moodle. These comprise: (i) a comprehensive instructor-prepared course dossier divided into four units and containing explanations, illustrations, examples and practical exercises for each unit; (ii) five PowerPoint documents with the material that forms the basis for this course (these will be uploaded progressively once their contents have been thoroughly discussed in class); and (iii) PDF documents with sample solutions to the online Moodle consolidation exercises (these will be uploaded progressively after each assignment deadline has passed).
