Better practice for Global Immersion Program exemplified by Bacterial Pathogenesis

Abstract:

To cultivate talents with a global outlook, and further improve the quality of university teaching, Southwest University held a Global Immersion Program for the first time in July 2019. Bacterial Pathogenesis, a course in this program, was used as an example to summarize the schedule, pedagogy, outcome and students feedback. The results showed that this program is innovative and can provide high-quality options for students intended to gain interdisciplinary insights via cutting-edge and close to real life knowledge teaching. Both students and teachers highly recognized this program. This practice gave a framework for future better Global Immersion Program.
