Students Propose Directly... Positive Response to Actual Course Offerings

Kyungnam College of Information & Technology (President: Kim Taesang) held an awards ceremony for the "2nd KIT Liberal Arts Course Contest," where students propose and create their own liberal arts courses they wish to take.

This contest was organized to break down academic barriers and allow students, as education consumers, to directly design and propose courses they want, with the potential for these courses to be actually offered. A total of 23 courses were submitted in various fields such as Korean culture, digital literacy, the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and the arts.

At the awards ceremony held on the 20th, the grand prize was awarded to Jung Yunhu and Park Jinyong from the Department of Physical Therapy for their course "Korean Folklore and Contemporary Culture." The excellence award went to Cho Seongwon from the Department of Mechanical Engineering for "Discovering Korea: A Journey into Korean Culture."

The encouragement awards, along with the President's Award and prize money, were given to Han Minji from the Department of Computer Science (Basic Knowledge about Money), Byun Minji from the Department of Dental Hygiene (Social Media and Communication), Bae Seonghyeon from the Department of Physical Therapy (Digital Literacy in Everyday Life), and Kim Hyemin from the Department of Nursing (Understanding Korean Culture).

The university has already implemented and operated some of the courses that won in last year's first contest, such as "Building Knowledge through Travel."

Lee Seonguk, Director of Academic Affairs at the university, said, "We will expand opportunities to gather students' opinions so that we can offer a wider variety of courses that students want," and added, "By incorporating students' creativity into a student-centered curriculum, we will continue to enhance satisfaction."
