Tips: Continuing education refers to the education for adults, usually in classes that are held in the evening and especially on subjects that are related to their jobs.

2. What is “experiential learning”

Tips: Experiential learning is the process of making meaning from direct experience.

It is learning through reflection on doing, which is often contrasted with rote

learning (死记硬背). Experiential learning focuses on the learning process for the individual.
