This course model\u00a0is designed to engage\u00a0students in hands-on\u00a0learning\u00a0activities.\u00a0These may include field trips (independent or in groups when appropriate), labs, case studies, performances, industry projects, practica, community work, etc. The class should meet regularly to discuss new concepts and ideas and consolidate and share learning from previous weeks. The instructor should be in regular contact with students during the weeks they are not in class.<\/p>\r\n

In this model, the class is divided into two groups, wherein each group attends the face-to-face class on alternating weeks to decrease the number of students in the face-to-face class.<\/p>\r\nTable: Example weekly schedule for experiential learning course model<\/strong>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
