Academic Development Line Year 1

Volledige vakbeschrijving

Next to the Orientation Design Project (RMT1103) and the Lab Skills Line (RMT1102), the Academic Development Line (ADL) is one of the longitudinal lines in the RMT programme. ADL deals with the following general competences: knowing yourself, understanding what acceptable standards and values are, being able to express yourself, organise your study and work, and building relations. The activities in the academic development are subsumed under four competency domains:

1. Self-regulated learning skills. These skills will help students to develop adequate learning strategies (Study Smart Training) and find their way in the ever-growing data and information jungle (Information Literacy);
2. Professional behavior. Within this domain, students will become aware of their personal behaviour in teams and how this will affect the functioning of that team and its other members. As a future professional and global citizen, working in teams will be an important skill;
3. Scientific storytelling. In this domain, students will learn how to share and communicate their results, visions, etc. both in writing and in oral to a specific audience or readership, which includes fellow students, teachers and peers;
4. Personal development. To help students finding and developing their personal path in the wealth of opportunities that RMT is offering, the ADL contains a series of activities and assignments that stimulate and support students in their personal and academic growth and development.
