**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.
**This project will be uniformly signed and reimbursed by the office of the Higher Education Sprout Project.**
(Please note that expense reimbursement processing for courses from the 115th academic year (second semester) is expected to be completed by the end of July 2027, and for courses from the 116th academic year (first semester) by the end of November 2027. We kindly request that instructors submit the final report upon completion of the course.)
**In response to the Ministry of Education's revision on October 15, 2024, as per document number 1134400978A, the revised regulation states that the meal allowance for each individual is set at 120 NTD per meal for lunch and dinner. If applying for cases where accommodation and meal expenses can be claimed, please budget according to the revised unit price.**
