Course conclusion |
self-directed
learning |
This is a one-credit course. Students are expected to engage in approximately two hours of self-directed learning, which allows for flexible exploration of topics broadly related to the course, without prescribed content or pacing. Upon completion, students should submit a reflective learning report via the iLearning system, summarizing their academic experience throughout the semester and offering a self-assessment of their strengths and areas for improvement. Submission in accordance with the stated guidelines is required to fulfill the self-directed learning component. |
