Liberal Studies Service & Learning Network (LSSLN) has participated in the Academy for Talented in conducting two workshops in Nov 19 and Dec 3, 2011 (two Saturdays). The Workshops aim at enhancing their ability in doing Independent Enquiry Studies (IES) project, which is a subject requirement for their Liberal Studies subject.

The first day of workshop starts with lecture by Dr. Cheung Chi-kim, who is the associate programme director of the Bachelor of Education (Liberal Studies) programme, introducing them some practical research skills. Followed by a small class tutorial session, conducted by cohorts of the BEd (Liberal Studies), guiding students’ ways to create authentic questionnaires. The students had actively participated in the dialogue and they all produced high standard products.

The second workshop mainly focuses on improving their ability in expressing their ideas. By the time I had with them at the tutorial session, I found that they are fast learners in terms of understanding the concepts the professors introduced to them at the morning lecture session, it was really a pleasure to have these students as they were not shy in expressing their point of views. We even stayed until late to discuss deeper and further on different issues at Liberal Studies.
