Active Learning
11. Active Learning--Students are taught how to learn throughout their
lives, rather than being simply asked to memorize the content of each
course.
Again, the Perspectives courses are the closest that the General Education
curriculum comes to requiring active learning, although students need to work
actively at the process in writing courses. Of course, active learning is
essential in laboratory courses. This barrier is difficultto overcome; many
students arrive with substantive reluctance to participate in classes. But
the General Education curriculum does address this concept through the
"curiosity" goal.
