I hope to find out if you see really is
00:16
what I want to do with my life and if it
00:18
really fits to what I wanted of the
00:20
study
00:29
I expect to learn a lot more about the
00:33
problem-based learning and also about
00:35
how everything works that is that's
00:37
wonderful to see how many of you guys
00:39
showed up for experience day this
00:41
morning I trust it was not too hard to
00:43
find our building here in the center of
00:45
Rotterdam liberal arts has to do with
00:48
basically skills about academic skills
00:50
those things you need to do in order to
00:53
be a true liberal a true
00:55
free thinking person problem-based
00:58
learning that's what I wanted what is it
01:02
you work in small groups we are guided
01:05
by tutor a lot of self-study that's your
01:08
own self-study not too much lectures
01:11
that's the other approach and always the
01:14
problems is a starting point for
01:16
learning so these four things are the
01:18
most important part for the
01:20
problem-based learning
01:21
so you'll construct your own learning
01:25
process PBL it's been really good it's
01:29
good to see how the sort of how it
01:32
differentiates from a normal University
01:34
lecture PVR lessons are really great you
01:37
add a lot of opinions and without a
01:39
failure to come to a statement and then
01:41
you solve the problem so it was really
01:43
interesting
01:59
my first impression is very positive
02:02
because of the the teachers the staff
02:05
the students are all very personal I had
02:09
a very good impression the facilities
02:11
are great up to the opportunity to meet
02:14
some of the staff and speak to the Dean
02:16
I wish I could study here well what I
02:19
believe about this school system is that
02:21
you are treated as an individual in a
02:24
smaller group and not being an ominous
02:26
in a large group and of course the
02:30
historical environment of this building
02:32
that makes it a complete
02:59
so what we do out of our methanol so
03:01
that seemed a
03:04
so in more less full humanity spirit
03:09
blue you have just different fish a lot
03:12
of horses and you have to pay attention
03:15
today to the red water and what can you
03:19
expect so something about the subjects
03:21
that we will cover as they already said
03:23
into broth well I did actually I didn't
03:25
know you could combine the two combined
03:28
majors so that you could do a double
03:29
major which I'm actually very interested
03:31
in
03:40
I think especially it's the PBL you know
03:43
I think problem-based learning is the
03:45
way the kids have to learn to be ready
03:47
for business in the future it's not
03:48
sleeping in a lecture theatre it's being
03:50
interactive and working with their peers
04:08
I loved it it was awesome it was great
04:10
experience great time to get hands-on
04:13
experience and understand how everything
04:15
works and I could think of questions
04:17
that I might not think of normally and
04:19
then the students were great
04:20
enthusiastic social I loved it I loved
04:22
it loved about it
04:45
it's very bugs you have really liked it
04:47
I liked it to share a kitchen with with
04:50
other UC students well I think that I'm
04:53
going to fly here and they see yourself
04:55
living and studying here next year I
04:58
really like that also parents could do
05:01
this experience thing and so we get a
05:04
view of where our children or our child
05:06
is going to live and study so that's
05:09
nice to see
05:15
you
