Course:VANT148/Overview

Overview

The UBC strategic plan, Place and Promise, outlines UBC's commitment to students to provide them with Enriched Educational Experiences (E3s) during their course of study. In their report on E3s at UBC, Sens and Fryer (2012) state that, "Ultimately, the goal is to position educational enrichment practices as a key element of curriculum design, faculty teaching, student development, and student learning expectations." The UBC Vantage College multidisciplinary research project courses (VANT 148, VANT149) provide students with enriched educational experiences that help to distinguish the UBC Vantage College program. By integrating learning from multiple sources, in team projects and with peer instruction, UBC Vantage College students will use this project element of their program to build and engage with learning communities.
