A university-wide common compulsory subject with two credits.
We accepts various students from high schools where different curricula and courses are taught. Those who are accustomed to passive learning in high schools might feel anxious about learning in the University where independence is respected. In light of this, the seminar provides an occasion for promoting communication with faculty members to cultivate intelligent interests by attending and joining various activities. Expected results are as follows:
1. Shaping an independent learning attitude
2. Developing problem discovery skills
3. Understanding the diversity of perspectives
4. Learning how to find materials (such as use of the Library)
5. Learning reading comprehension, sentence composition polishing, making a good presentation and having a good discussion
6. Fostering students’ discussion skills with faculty members and between students
