KAIST To Open Cultural Activity Classes KAIST To Open Cultural Activity Classes KAIST will open classes of Cultural Activity (CA) this fall semester, and many of them will be instructed by students. CA classes are regular classes opened to create a better atmosphere on campus and broaden students’ sociality and provide opportunities of diverse experiences to enhance students’ qualities as elite scientists. All classes will be provided at night or weekend to allow students to take part in cultural activities of their interests. Total 21 classes, such as animation, photo-taking, electronic guitar, classic guitar, Ocarina, Inline skate, Haedong kendo, weight training, yoga, Tae-keuk-kwon, aerobic, recreation, hacking, drum playing, etc., will be provided, and 15 of them, such as animation, photo-taking, electronic guitar, etc., will be lectured by students. The students-lectured classes have been selected after thorough examination of lecture plans. Leadership Mileage Points (LMP) will be offered to students both of lecturing and attending CA classes and, in the case of freshmen, a credit will be admitted for the obligatory subject of leadership demanding two credits. A larger number of students than the enrollment capacity have applied for the classes within a day. CA classes are expected to change campus life in KAIST. Meanwhile, students will be given LMPs for each of their activities, such as humanity/ leadership lectures, on-campus voluntary services, off-campus voluntary services, mind and body training, exchange student activity, field experiences, etc., and will be issued a leadership certificate graded as ‘silver’, ‘gold’, ‘platinum’ and ‘diamond’ according to the accumulative LMPs in graduation. A personal certificate describing the details of on-campus activities by students will also be issued to help students’ employment activities. KAIST has recently introduced a new two-dimensional admission policy that evaluates applicants’ humanities as well as academic achievements, based on President Suh’s judgment that students with expertise but no humanity will not be able to create the bright future of Korea. The LMP has the same purport as the new policy in that enrolled students are also to be evaluated in two aspects - humanity and academic achievements, and will bring a new paradigm to Korean education.
