Suggestions on
Preparation and
Review |
It goes without saying that studying is something one must do independently. However, providing the initial motivation and the entry point is the most important role of a course. Discovering worlds and ways of thinking previously unknown, or gaining awareness of fields one had never been interested in, is valuable. Whether one remains unaware or eventually comes to understand something makes a significant difference. Knowledge may even connect unexpectedly with what is learned in completely different subjects. The earlier this happens, the broader and deeper one’s perspective becomes. |
| Requirements |

| Grading Method |
Students will be assessed based on a combination of examinations and reports. A total score of 60 points or higher is required to pass. Students whose engagement in the course is deemed insufficient will receive a failing grade. |
