significant and strong relationships between students and staff in order to improve student engagement and motivation, and foster their intellectual development;
the development of lifelong learning;
the development and creation of a learning environment that emphasizes active learning amongst students;
a curriculum that provides both summative and formative feedback in a timely fashion;
the development of reflective practice, including responding to students’ feedbacks, in order to improve the teaching and learning environment.
