Class flow
This course is a real-time, interactive, and direct-teaching live course via ZOOM. Therefore, students are required to attend all classes in real time.
The following measures are taken to ensure the quality of the online course.
1.Use slides with examples and charts so that students can maintain their concentration.
2.Ask students to share their ideas by such means as actively using the voting function of ZOOM and setting a time for verbal or chat questions enable them to keep their concentration and better understand the ideas of other students in the classes.
3.Give an assignment to students in each class, and they are required to prepare and submit a report. The report assignment is designed for students to think about their own future career development based on the content of the class, so that the students will not only deeply understand the content, but also improve their report writing skills, and furthermore, the report can be used as a memorandum that can be reread in the future to help them build their careers.
4.Pick up the contents of the reports submitted by the students that would be helpful for them to share, and provide feedback to the students at a later date, with comments by lecturers, if necessary, so that they can understand what other students who listened to the same classes thought, and thus obtain even deeper learning effects.
