Presentations of Students

Our objectives are broadening our students’ horizon and knowledge base and letting them plan their own study and develop their own research skills.  In order to achieve the above objectives, students are divided into groups to gather information and make presentation.


Before the trip, information is gathered from the websites and books. Each group will present their introduction of topics and their study plan.


During the trip, topics of diverse aspects were assigned to each group. Students are required to interact with local people, such as interviews, attending lectures and joining guided tours in the daytimes, primary information is obtained. Students are required to present their findings in the evening presentation sessions.
