With an emphasis on developing skills in reading, writing, research, and problem solving, students engage with faculty developed subject-specific learning prompts, questions, readings, and challenges.
The majority of class time is dedicated to exploration and discussion, with students learning to research, to evaluate the validity of data, and to identify and learn skills and knowledge required to achieve higher levels of proficiency.
Required learning outcomes, targets, and resulting products are determined on a student specific basis with careful recognition of student strengths, areas for potential growth, and targets both academically and personally.
The majority of students’ written work is in the form of a reflection upon the learning process with an emphasis on journaling questions and ideas that have resulted from the journey.
