The first 4 modules are for students to complete before departure, while the last one is for reflection on their exchange experience after returning to CUHK. The materials in this Platform may give students some insight especially about cultural difference and communication tactics. Besides, it may also prompt students to think deeply about their motivation, and expectations of the exchange experience.  For more details, please refer to the link below.
