In the curicullum of ECSP, the Internship has been arranged for students to study from the first year to help students approach, get acquainted and have career orientation right from the beginning. The Internship couses are guided by instructors to approach production practices, creating favorable conditions for learners to propose scientific research ideas in the field of crops.

In each module, lecturers will actively choose various teaching methods, suitable for learning methods to help learners actively absorb, acquire knowledge and achieve the CLOs, as well as the PLOs. Lecturers will help learners to practice presentation skills, team work, role-playing, brainstorming, assignments,…

7.1.2. Improve and improve the quality of teaching

The training program is reviewed every 2 years to adjust to meet the requirements of stakeholders for the profession.

In each semester, the subjects develop lesson plans of the lecturers, especially young lecturers, to exchange and share knowledge and teaching methods in order to improve the capacity of the lecturers.

The modules of the program are regularly asked for feedback from students about the teacher's qualities, talents, mind, virtue, and responsibility.

7.2. Assessment methods

The score for assessing the learning results of each course is calculated on a 10-point scale, a 4-point scale and converted to an alphabetical score. Learners with a course score of less than 4.0 (on a 10-point scale) are not successful and must re-register.
