Teaching Quality Based on International Standards and Learning Outcomes
FCU’s efforts to improve teaching quality and standards are based on student learning outcomes. Since 2005, FCU has been awarded Ministry of Education grants for its excellence in teaching and learning projects. In 2013, FCU became the largest recipient of these grants for the fifth time. Continuous improvements are being made in the areas of curriculum planning and management mechanisms. Each department and graduate institute works to understand the needs of relevant industries and its own development goals through internal and external double loop assessment mechanisms. In addition, international education certification and accreditation are sought to bring the curricula and educational quality in line with international standards and benchmarks.
In 2005, the Blackboard digital learning platform was introduced to build a complete campus e-learning environment. This platform is used by a number of prestigious universities including Harvard and Stanford. Course syllabuses are combined with comprehensive resources and guidance to provide an educational environment that is not limited by time or space. To help students master the core principles of specialized, upper division courses, digital and multimedia teaching materials are developed. In addition to FCU teaching assistants who provide face-to-face academic guidance, digital supplemental materials are available. Students can choose the most suitable learning option based on their own personal needs. For FCU faculty, a comprehensive community is in place to promote professional growth and provide administrative support. Through teacher evaluations the quality of education is ensured.
