  VI、Course Implementation Requirements and Related Instructions

1. PBL classroom teaching model: including problem-based teaching method, discussion-based teaching method, organize students to group learning, small class, role-playing and group problem solving, this teaching model aims to enable students to participate in the teaching process, fully mobilize the enthusiasm and initiative of students learning, and cultivate the spirit of innovation and exploration.

2. Research-based learning model: We take a comprehensive approach to practice in order to cultivate the research and exploration of thinking. The teacher puts forward the scientific research topic, students composite research group to investigate information, literature search, and then evaluate the scientific research topic summary. This research-based learning model stimulated students interesting in scientific research, broaden their thinking, also promote the ability of professional knowledge learning.

3. Independent, collaborative learning model: In order to cultivate students' self-learning ability, collaborative learning ability, access to information ability. We take network resources in teaching research. The learning model of Propose target - Autonomous Learning – issue-oriented -collaborative learning - discussion and reporting - teacher evaluation is proposed. Collaborative learning is carried out, and classroom design is carried out according to three objectives: self-directed learning, problem-based collaborative learning, group reporting, assignment then teacher evaluation.
