Engaged learning is an approach to teaching and learning in which students are responsible for developing the skills, attitudes, and knowledge necessary for success in life. The role of the professor is to empower students to achieve these outcomes. The engaged learning method of teaching encourages learners to conduct meaningful inquiry, reflect, think critically, and develop learning strategies for deadline with real-world challenges. Engaged learning may take place in a variety of settings using approaches varying in complexity and tailored to diverse student learning styles.

  • FaceTime or Skype to conduct a job presentation and interview with the professor;
  • Weekly discussion activities that require posting to the FSC Portal; and
  • Using PowerPoint of Prezi to craft a narrated presentation.

I.A. Policy: As an academic community, FSC is firmly committed to honor and integrity in the pursuit of knowledge. Therefore, as members of this academic community, all students acknowledge responsibility for their actions and commit themselves to the highest standards of integrity, thereby making a covenant with the college and all members of the academic community not to engage in any form of academic dishonesty as defined immediately below. This covenant—FSC’s Honor Code—lies at the heart of learning, inquiry, and the critical exploration and dissemination of ideas. Through it, students affirm the authorship of their own work, and when work is not their own, appropriately attribute ideas, concepts, data, words, and artistic and creative expressions. Formal subscription to the Honor Code by all students assures the academic community that breaches of academic integrity will not be tolerated and fosters learning at its best.
