Assigned Department Objectives

Teaching Method

Outline:
Lecture as a commercial ship science student who is a reserve army of ship staff (navigation officers / engineers), teaching about three sections of "shipping / ship / shipbuilding / scrap", "energy resources / energy transportation" and simple ship practice calculation. Ask them to think about the weight of responsibility of ship staff, job satisfaction or attitude.
Style:
Lecture by a single faculty member. Distribute homemade materials for each lesson content.
Distribute confirmation questions for each unit and deepen understanding through home study.

(Preparatory learning in advance)
Since this course is a credit course, you should review and prepare for the previous lecture before attending the class.
 (Learning outside the class / advance) Prepare for the lesson content.
 (Out-of-class learning / post-class) Solve problems related to class content.

Notice:
Bring all of the handouts every time and take lecture notes.
In this subject, credits will be accredited with an evaluation of 60 points or more.
Those with an evaluation of less than 60 points can take makeup exam upon request.
If you get 60 points or more in the makeup exam, the credit will be recognized.
