Activities of teaching and learning: lectures; discussion (whole class and small group); practicums supervised by qualified professionals; media presentations--film, video, music; guest speakers; field trips; and spiritual formation practices.
Methods of assessment of learning achievements: In each class, students are assessed through a variety of methods including tests, quizzes, papers, and other written or practical projects. Instructors use both holistic and analytic rubrics which give the students feedback and grades in the areas of content, organization, and English proficiency. A practicum provides the student with feedback from a qualified professional. A final thesis is evaluated at a public oral defense by a panel consisting of an outside panel chair, advisor, and the thesis instructor. Additionally, each thesis is reviewed by an outside reader.
