[MA in Korean Language Flagship]
1. Plan B only: Oral defense and scholarly paper
Students are required to conduct research in their domain (e.g., political science, sociology, computer engineering, law, business, etc.) during the overseas program. They choose a topic in their chosen field, and conduct research using materials in Korean. Students are encouraged to make use of information obtained from Korea University (KU) subject-matter courses and through an internship in Korea. During the third semester of the program (the second semester at KU), students make a progress report once a month and receive feedback and comments from KU faculty. When students return to UH for their last semester, students finish up the paper with the help of UH Flagship faculty and make an oral presentation and submit a paper on their research finding.
2.Participation in the College of LLL student exit survey (satisfaction with the program, learning outcomes, plans after graduation, suggestions for program improvement, etc.).
We received reports on response data from the Korean Flagship MA for Professionals exit survey for students graduating from Fall 2015- Spring 2018. A total of 9 students were invited to respond; 8 students completed the survey (response rate=89%).
3.Internship log in Korea
Supervisors or mentors in students’ internship sites provide a monthly log which is reviewed by KU and UHM Flagship faculty.
4.Site visit to the overseas program in Korea University
Once a year, UHM faculty visits the overseas program in Korea to evaluate the program and students’ progress.
5. Preliminary conference with students
In the beginning of an academic year, faculty members have an individual conference with each student to accommodate students’ needs and suggestions.
6. Student performance
Weekly students’ performance data (e.g., individual presentation, discussion, debate, survey, and negotiation) are collected and reviewed by faculty. Students’ final presentations of each semester are also major assessment tools of how they are progressing along the SLOs.
