Dr. Huang’s modular design in teaching these four areas makes learning fun, exciting and memorable. His students truly love the rich online environment in which they can be engaged in peer learning and self-discovery.
Dr. Huang's teaching in SEEC has not only helped those highly self-motivated students to achieve their dreams but has also successfully converted some students who have not cultivated a good learning habit into active and responsible learners. His “No Child Left Behind” policy, appropriated from President G. W.
