. A meta-analysis of 225 studies in undergraduatescience, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) courses found that “averageexamination scores improved by about 6% in active learning sections, and that students inclasses with traditional lecturing were 1.5 times more likely to fail than were students in classeswith active learning”4.Many student-centered approaches have been introduced to foster active learning. Theapproaches that can be employed to engage a larger number of students include graffiti walls,inside-outside circles, think-pair-shares, quick writes, physical movement, and student responsesystems5. Among them, the use of student response systems (SRSs), also known as audienceresponse systems, personal response systems and

Both depth and breadth were associated with acquiring abroad general education, writing clearly and effectively, contributing to the welfare ofcommunities, relationships with faculty and administration, and desire to attend the sameinstitution.

Bauermeister (2016) et al. advocated thatstudents are given an opportunity to develop self-awareness of their leadership style, practicehow to be an effective leader, use interpersonal skills to manage relationships, design a teamstructure, by means of the experiential
