Assessment
A problem-based learning approach will be used in course development and instruction.
Most of the courses will include 4 to 5 learning sections. Each section is structured with a unique, problem/challenge-based format that engages the student with an applied situation before he/she even starts learning the content.
The student will re-address the challenge at the end of the section to ensure that he/she has mastered the content and can apply it in the workplace.
During each course students will need to complete approximately two assignments and at the conclusion of the course, the students are required to submit a culminating project.
