Defining Humanism
我们对人文主义的看法是基于对明确期望的诚实沟通以及对勤奋努力的积极支持. Although kindness is valued, humanism is not interpreted to mean softness, weakness, or superficial niceness. 事实上,人文主义对牙科学校社区的每个成员都负有重大责任. In order for this approach to work, faculty members must be models of the profession’s highest standards, and they must teach in a way that encourages and energizes students. Students, in turn, are expected to set very high standards, to work hard, and to take personal responsibility for their own learning process.
