GINST 003 – ENGLISH ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM 1

 This module was designed for you to learn independently and carefully
while at your comfort zones.
It is expected that interactive learning and teaching will enrich your
learning experience. You will work in partnership with me to create a
positive learning experience. Therefore, your engagement is a necessary
condition for an active learning experience. It includes contributions in
terms of discussion, positive interactive learning with others, and an
enthusiastic attitude towards inquiry.  Moreover, you are expected to be a
positive contributor to the class learning community, and you are to share
the responsibility of learning from each other.

course, and what is to be expected.
