2. Definition of cross-field aesthetic course module

A "module" is a special-purpose component composed of several components with different functions. Therefore, the course module contains several course components with different teaching functions. After selection and combination, a course plan with unique teaching objectives can be formed, and a continuous course plan can form a teaching system. After the course module is formed, if the course plan needs to be adjusted or modified, it can also be achieved by adjusting the course components. The "Cross-Domain Aesthetics Course Module" is an organic and flexible course format composed of components of the Cross-Domain Aesthetics Course Module.
