The experiment proved successful. Now we are in the growing stage. The number of electives can no longer be increasing if the traditional curriculum remains unchanged. The advisability of making traditional curriculum partially elective is now being discussed. I think it is important to adjust our teaching practices so that students could do more independent reading and were able to express their opinions in the form of reading responses, classroom discussions, etc.
More writing is also advisable.
My experience was that academic writing is one of the weakest points of our students. The experience I gained as a FJDP scholar will help in practical implementation of these ideas. International Programs University of Iowa 1998.
