Learning outcomes are clearly stated in the syllabus Compared to humanities subjects which require students to do additional
reading
Practical Assessment (End of Year) Requires hands-on laboratory work
Limited number of lab sessions planned in a year
Need to take every lab session very seriously

I checked for understanding through
doing the questions in the revision
package 42.6 29.8
I clarified my doubts through
consultations 13.0 8.8
I should take the initiative to see my
tutor for consultations 72.2 57.5
I am prepared for tutorial lessons 59.3 31.6
I need more discipline and motivation. 66.7 75.4
WHAT IS ACTIVE LEARNING?
Learning
resource
Learning
approach
Assessment and
Feedback
Have a revision routine and a study plan
Be prepared for lesson
Adopt an active learning attitude
Aspiring Mindset
Lecture notes
Tutorials
Revision packages
Identify gaps from past exams & tests
Consultations
(1) Topical revision package
Recommended study guide
(week by week) to supplement self-
directed learning.
(2) Final exam past year papers to
improve time management skills.
Ensure learning resources are
organised properly in files.
Encourage active learning.
Encouraging them to sleep early and have sufficient rest.
Help your child plan their free time.
Having regular conversations with your child, and motivating them when necessary.
