RECOMMENDATION AND SUGGESTIONS RELATED TO THE COURSE FOR THE NEXT SESSION

RECOMMENDATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS RELATED TO THE COURSE FOR NEXT SESSION If possible, several field trips, of a road construction site, should be arranged for students to show them different stages of construction. Alternatively, some real time videos of highway construction work should be taped to clearly convey the construction practices to students.
