English
as a Second Language (ESL)
All
classes at Mansfield are conducted in English. If you have
difficulty with the language, you should consider taking an English
as a Second Language (ESL) course prior to enrolling at
Mansfield.
Most instruction is organized and conducted in one of three
methods: lecture classes, seminar discussion groups, and
laboratories. Instructors usually require the purchase of a
specific textbook which will supplement lectures.
Seminar/discussion classes are generally small classes where
students participate in discussions guided by instructors.
Laboratories offer students hands-on experiences that supplement
the classroom lecture. Laboratories are most common in the science,
math and foreign language curriculums.
