Tutorial Offered by Center of Teaching and Learning Development

Currently the Center for Teaching and Learning Development (http://ctld.nthu.edu.tw/) has a project to assist the international students in their study by recruiting some tutors for counseling for specific subjects.

The Center for Teaching and Learning Development already has 3 tutorials including “Calculus”, “General Physics” and “Engineering Mathematics” for all students. On the other hand, it is known Chinese is always an obstacle to effective learning. Aiming at this problem, Chinese Language Center (華語中心, a new unit under Office of Academic Affairs) was recently established and this center will play an important role in Chinese learning for foreign students.

To successfully execute this project, the center is willing to know what subjects international students need most. If you have any suggestion, please send us an email and INSA will inform the center.




Mentorship program for IEEM
IEEM professor Chow has open a program for Taiwanese students that are willing to volunteer and help future new students. The idea is for these Taiwanese to be a kind help during the first 3 month of every foreign student of IEEM.
