On-campus

This unit will apply an active learning approach in teaching to selected topics (Week 4, 5, 8, 9, and 10). "Active learning" means students engage with the material before attending lecture, participate in the class, and collaborate with each other outside of lectures. Therefore, students instead of listening and memorizing in lectures will be engaged together step by step to develop skills, analyze an argument, or apply a concept to a real-world situation not limited to lecture setting.
