  The Department of Applied Mathematics at the University of Nottingham
Malaysia Campus has a responsibility for delivering mathematics modules for
engineering students. Due to the significantly large number of students, two
methods of teaching delivery--parallel teaching and block teaching--have been
implemented. This article discusses some pros and cons between these two
methods, particularly for the Foundation programme and the first year of the
Undergraduate programme in Engineering. Whether parallel teaching or block
teaching is implemented, feedback comments from the students indicate that some
areas need to be paid attention to.
