You aim to grow out of passive accumulation-type learning methods that you might have been taught so far. Moreover, you try to have a critical mind by yourself, learn methods to study independently, and develop your abilities to read and understand, write, express yourself and communicate with others. You can interact with a teacher of a different course in the Department of Agriculture.
