چکیده

Yet unlike their counterparts in traditional four-year college programs, these students move through the curriculum at a rapid pace and are rarely provided with an adequate means to practice the hands-on aspects of their trade in a structured classroom environment. However, it is precisely this emphasis on practice that can enable beginners to gain more expertise.
