The teachers effectively create an environment where students can confidently express their viewpoints and become active participants. Furthermore, the assignments and projects, whether individual or group, have been instrumental in creating a deeper understanding, and in some cases such as the Critical Analysis, provided examples of how it can be utilized using real-world examples.
