The PPL Corner is an exhibition and reflection space for the pedagogical principles of RUC. Here, students and other interested parties can get a quick introduction to one of RUC’s cornerstones: Problem-Oriented Project Learning.
The PPL Corner is easily accessible on the library’s 2nd floor. Here, we have gathered materials about PPL in the form of books, student projects, and journal articles. As a student, you can enhance your understanding of the RUC model by visiting the corner and gaining practical and useful knowledge to, among other things, develop critical reflection on your own practice.
You can read more about PPL on RUC's website.
