**Project Description:**
Current course designs are often "shallow," and to achieve effective teaching and enhance student learning outcomes, we will add an extra credit for non-lecture courses that promote interaction between teachers and students and facilitate discussions. This additional credit will be funded by the Higher Education Sprout Project and will not be included in the teaching hours for the faculty.
1. **Funding:** Subsidy of 1 credit, totaling 16,000 NTD for 16 weeks of teaching hours.
*Please note that the related application guidelines will follow the "Ming Chuan University Higher Education Sprout Project Budget Guidelines" (https://reurl.cc/GA97RG).*
2. **Application Period:** From now until November 15, 2024 (Friday) at 12:00 PM.
3. **Completion Deadline:** Please submit the completion report within ten days after the course concludes.
**This project will be uniformly signed and reimbursed by the office of the Higher Education Sprout Project.**
(The reimbursement for the 113th semester courses will be sent out around early June, with assistance for reimbursement before the end of June. The reimbursement for the 114th semester courses will be sent out around early October, with assistance for reimbursement before the end of October.
