This course takes a learner-centered approach based on active learning methods, making full use of Manaba. Active participation is essential for earning credits. Although primarily a reading class, strong emphasis is placed on building a solid foundation in writing, based on the premise that "those who know how to write can read significantly faster." All student submissions will receive either peer assessment or instructor feedback. Building on the concept mapping techniques practiced in RSIII, RSIV will focus on deverloping critical thinking skills. |
