The workshops themselves are group-oriented compared to the normal lecture. Instead of the bulk of the duration having one speaker, it is meant for students to participate and ask questions to ensure they are following along. This creates a welcoming learning environment, as all will be expected to try, fail, and learn from their mistakes. The workshop is an important part of the education of international students in IFE and will play an important role in improving the quality of international student education.
