I believe students should be actively involved in their own learning. Students will be constructing their own knowledge by interacting with others, observing, participating and reflecting. Learning is something a learner does, not something that is done to the learner. I expect students to come to class prepared to demonstrate their skills and knowledge. Students must also be able to apply their knowledge and skills in practical situations.
