All this certainly does apply to our foundation courses.

This introductory curriculum focuses on broad, interdisciplinary education which prepares you with essential skills and knowledge. The curriculum is designed to help you to think critically, communicate effectively, and approach problems from multiple perspectives. The key components of the curriculum are:

Intellectual Curiosity and Lifelong Learning
Our unique foundational approach offers the core of Liberal Arts & Sciences, providing a holistic, interdisciplinary perspective that broadens the mind, integrates alternative disciplines, stimulates out-of-the-box thinking, and teaches that reality is complex and can be critically approached from different perspectives. Furthermore, the classes are designed to stimulate discussion, engagement, and collaboration.
To realize these goals, students will be offered the following courses:

Assessment
Assessment
The mid-term evaluation will be conducted through a poster presentation. Students are required to form teams of four. Each team must select a topic from the following options on a first-come, first-served basis: Conflict, Self, Past Present & Future, and Human Values. The teams will present their work to a panel of faculty members, who will assess their presentations. This evaluation method is designed to give students the opportunity to critically reflect on and present what they have learned during the first half of the semester.
The end-semester examination will be a traditional sit-in exam lasting three hours. During this exam, you will be expected to write two essays. The essay topics will be provided in the examination paper.
This balanced assessment is designed to encourage critical thinking, promote collaboration, enhance presentation and writing skills, reinforces learning, and exposes students to real world skills.
