Our lecturers are also implementing different ways of teaching method for example ‘flipped classroom’ in which students will review their lesson before the start of the class so that they will have more time to do hands-on activities under the lecturer’s guidance. Thus, engagement of learning encompass different methods and strategies as part of UNIEC learning environment.
