| Message from instructor(s) |
| Student will be studying various topics at university, but if it is only studies to take high scores in the exam and take credits, it can be a waste. While you are in the position of a student, you are already an expert who gained a lot of knowledge. Through this lesson, I would like you to have consciousness to think about how to teach what you learned to society. |
