Course Structure
From Learners to Teachers
Establishment of conceptual foundation through lectures by expert-speakers. You are given a practical assignment to build your knowledge foundation in a subtopic.
Meet peers in smaller subgroups where everyone researches and discusses the same subtopic derived from the lecture. The goal is for you to become an expert on that specific of the topic and prepare a presentation.
The specialist groups teach their subtopics to the others groups. You present your findings to peers, and they teach you theirs - piecing together the full picture through peer-to-peer teaching.
After, you receive new input through a lecture by an expert speaker.
