Maximizing Productivity
My experience in graduate school taught me that for an instructor to maximize the potential of each class session, the instructor needs to relinquish control in directing the conversation. After any important lecture points have been covered, students provide direction and the instructor keeps the discussion moving in the right direction. Does anyone contradict that?
I wouldn't contradict the point but would like to set some limits. A graduate student is going to have more education and training than an undergraduate, so feel that the instructor will need to be more involved in the discussion for undergraduate education. I do feel the principle can still be applied but with more guidance.
