In addition, in-class teaching techniques will follow our innovative active learning techniques. You will enjoy our simulations, case studies and other experiential learning activities. Learning must be fun and practical. At NLU, it is both. Its chief value is to make us think, to test the validity and cogency of our choices.

To focus upon the diverse personalities who have had a significant impact is also beyond the scope of this paper. Our focus is within the parameters expressed by H. I.

These aspects of its culture are at least two millennia old.
